Aligning Businesses, Communities, and Homeowners for Net-Zero.
Reducing emissions is a collective effort – Alternalux solutions let businesses collaborate with their suppliers, employees and local communities to slash or eliminate their carbon footprint while improving business operations, delivering communities resilient, clean power, and saving money.
Who Are You?
What We Do
Businesses that can’t directly eliminate emissions, especially “carbon-locked” industries like aviation and shipping pay 3rd parties to do so via carbon offsets. Offsets were originally intended for regulated large emitters like utilities; in effect they’re a permit to pollute, and often derided as greenwashing. They also carry financial and brand risks for voluntary buyers, including ineffectiveness (many don’t actually reduce emissions) risk invalidation by double counting, and at times can be full-out scams. Even high-quality, rigorously monitored offsets are ongoing expenses without added business benefits to those who buy them.
Alternalux addresses these issues with an inset methodology enabling certified, real carbon reduction specifically designed for voluntary buyers. This new approach reduces or eliminates emissions via financially sensible decarbonization investments, for a collaborative approach with added benefits for suppliers, partners, and/or communities.

By tethering active emissions reduction/avoidance (versus passive approaches like forest preservation) to long-life emitting assets like aircraft, we enable verifiable carbon reduction under GHG protocol scope definition and product/service emissions “content labels” that purchasers increasingly demand. A key element of our Zero-Carbon Asset Tethering (ZCAT) insets is the ability to use renewables (particularly solar power) as insets. Since all businesses and homes consume electricity, and government incentives covering up to 70% of US renewable project costs, solar investments typically offer premium yields. Yet – counterintuitively – profitable projects are often ineligible for regulatory offsets, due to the restrictions of additionality.
With ZCAT, these initiatives can deliver verified carbon reduction while at the same time benefiting the company and its stakeholders including: communities, investors, and homeowners and provide solar power for local residents.
Our Story
Our roots in aviation and renewable energy provide Alternalux with a unique perspective on the vexing challenge of making aviation sustainable. Working with the Department of Energy (DoE) to lower the cost of solar power led us to a reimagined sales, design, finance and delivery process. This enabled the world’s most recognized brands to lower the cost of clean energy and make it more accessible to thousands of employees and local communities. Working with aircraft owners and operators, we understand aviation economics, the pressure to deliver sustainability, and aviation’s unique finance and operating structures.
By combining this knowledge with the deep understanding of both sector’s unique and complex finance, tax, regulation, and operating models, along with carbon management across industries. Altneralux developed a unique net-zero methodology that allows each sector to benefit from the other to achieve true net-zero for aircraft owners and operators and soon to be other carbon-intensive, high-emitting asset-based industries.
New decarbonization incentives can make private travel both sustainable and financially prudent. JetNetZero’s inset methodology enables business fliers to eliminate aircraft emissions and deliver added benefits to stakeholders — often while lowering operating costs.
