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.

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.
