español term (edited):
virtualmente contaminantes
contaminating
The only sense I can make of “virtualmente” here is rendering it “by virtue of”, but this could be weeded out as a redundancy in English I reckon. I'd be tempted to add “environmentally” in its place though.
Example sentence:
...uso de fuentes de energía alternativa virtualmente contaminantes...
...use of [environmentally] contaminating alternative energy sources...

Onshore wind power is currently the only economic way to meet these targets in the ... and "pay back" the indirect pollution generated during their manufacture, ...
