Decarbonization is reducing CO2 emissions resulting from human activity, with the eventual goal of eliminating them. In practice, getting to zero net emissions requires shifting from fossil fuels to alternative low-carbon energy sources.
Embracing energy efficiency to attain measurable results is a facility-wide effort.
