That's electric energy produced by a process that doesn't release carbon into the air.
Examples:
-- hydroelectric power
-- nuclear
-- wind
-- solar
-- tidal.
Examples of processes that DO add carbon to the air:
-- burning coal
-- burning oil
-- burning natural gas
-- burning wood

Why is it not accurate to call the electricity produced by burning hydrogen in power stations carbon free electricity?
It is not accurate to call the electricity being produce 'carbon free' because for the transaction to work parts of carbon dioxide are being pumped into the system.
Does a pencil conduct electricity?
Yes the center carbon or lead can conduct electricity. The carbon in the pencil is also used in resistors for resistance in a circuit.
Which form of Carbon is a good conductor of electricity and heat?
Graphite is the type of carbon that conducts electricity but poorly than metal
Why is silver a good conductor of electricity?
Silver is a good conductor of electricity because it has many free electrons moving around; like a free will donation to electricity.
Why is graphite a poor conductor of electricity at high temperatures?
Carbon is a poor conductor of electricity because it is a nonmetal, which in general are poor conductors of electricity. However it should be noted that, graphite, an allotrope of carbon is a very good conductor of electricity.
What is the electrical conductvity of carbon dioxide?
Electricity is conducted by free electrons. Carbon dioxide is a gas compound. It does not have free electrons. Sit does not conduct electricity.

Is carbon an insulator or a conductor?
It depends on the type, or allotrope, of carbon you're talking about. For a material to conduct electricity, it should have free electrons to carry the electrical current. In diamond, an allotrope of carbon, there are no such free electrons. This means that diamond does not conduct electricity. However, graphite, another allotrope of carbon, conducts electricity very well because it has an entire "sea" of free electrons.
How reliable is nuclear electricity?
Nuclear power is among the most reliable and safe sources of carbon free electricity.
Why does carbon conduct electricity if it is a non metal?
Carbon is used as a conductor in many applications. One common conductor, automotive spark plug wires, is actually a carbon impregnated chord. A common problem in high voltage electrical systems, such as automotive ignition secondary circuits, is "carbon tracking". A distributor cap, for example, may arc from one terminal to another, leaving a carbon track behind. The current will now follow that carbon path very readily and this is one reason secondary circuit (high voltage) components have to be replaced periodically.
Do diamonds conduct electricity?
they don't conduct electricity: they have no free electrons. graphite, however, made of the same stuff as diamond (carbon) has a different structure, which means that it does have free electrons, and a lot of them. Therefore graphite is a good conductor of electricity.
Is carbon dioxide in liquid phase considered an electrolyte?
No, liquid carbon dioxide is not an electrolyte. For a substance to conduct electricity, free moving electric charges must be present. Carbon dioxide is made of neutral CO2 molecules, thus there are no electric charges to conduct the electricity.
IS CARBON A GOOD CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY?
YES CARBON IS A GOOD CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY
How is the conductivity show by carbon compounds?
they conduct electricity by free electron present in compound. I'm not sure about this ans.
Does carbon dioxide gas conduct electricity?
No. Carbon Dioxide is covalently bonded, so there are no delocalised(free moving) electrons to carry the charge.
Why can carbon nanotubes conduct electricity?
I thought it was because nano tubes are created using graphene which is a single layer of graphite and graphite only bonds with 3 carbon atoms and this leaves one declocalised electron thats free to carry a charge
Is carbon a poor conductor of heat and electricity?
Carbon is a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
