Fossil fuel use can be phased out by conserving energy and switching to energy sources that do not produce significant carbon pollution. These energy sources include wind, solar, hydro, and nuclear power. Cleanly generated electricity can replace fossil fuels for powering transportation, heating buildings, and running
Carbon-based fuel is any fuel principally from the oxidation or burning of carbon.Carbon-based fuels are of two main kinds, biofuels and fossil fuels.Whereas biofuels are derived from recent-growth organic matter [1] and are typically harvested, as with logging of forests and cutting of corn, fossil fuels are of prehistoric origin [2] and are extracted from the ground, the principal fossil ...

The president of the COP28 climate summit claimed there is “no science” that says the phase out of fossil fuels is required to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels ...
Ani Dasgupta, president & CEO of World Resources Institute, writes on the three fossil-fuel-industry myths that leaders at COP28 must quit.
Renewable energy sources are even larger than the traditional fossil fuels and in theory can easily supply the world's energy needs. 89 PW [32] of solar power falls on the planet's surface. While it is not possible to capture all, or even most, of this energy, capturing less than 0.02% would be enough to meet the current energy needs.
