Take on global climate change at a meaningful scale by building a one-stop-shop for companies to eliminate their entire carbon footprint.

By combining four existing technologies—energy efficiency, demand response, renewable energy, and carbon allowances—into a single financed package, Carbon Lighthouse eliminates the upfront costs, transaction costs, and redundant engineering/contracting currently preventing corporations from profitably eliminating their carbon footprint.
