How to unlock the Zero Emission achievement in Cities: Skylines II - Definitive Guide

Pretty self explanatory.
Preparation: I saved a version of my existing city to allow me to earn some achievements without disturbing my main game. You can take out a loan for quick funding if your main game doesn't have enough cash.

Execution: Simply bulldoze any non-renewable energy production buildings* (e.g. coal power plant). Then place lots of wind turbines and connect them to your city's power network. I'm not sure if it's necessary but I removed the power connection to the outside world, so I was entirely self-sufficient on the wind turbines, then the achievement popped.

Note: Some achievements seem bugged or take a few minutes to pop, just enjoy the fresh non-polluted air until they do.

*The game wouldn't let me bulldoze the coal power plant until I bulldozed the powerlines first.

Been a few minutes, it's not popping for me. Wish these achievements worked properly...

Your city needs to be at least at milestone 10 (Small City) for this to pop, good guide otherwise.

It doesn't, I just got it to unlock at Tiny Town which is only milestone 5. Just kept placing wind turbines until it unlocked.

The milestone didn't seem to matter with me. The in game description for the achievement is different and says to make 500MW of renewable power instead. That doesn't seem to be true either. It popped for me as soon as I built the solar power plant for 200MW, so you could try that too.

Solar power is your friend. Unlock it and only use that. There may be other forms of power you can use, but this one is what I used.
