Empowering Your Journey
to Net Zero Emissions

Net Zero Notions was founded in 2025, inspired by the Net Zero 2030 goal for the Town of Eagle, Colorado. “We recognize the opportunity to accelerate a clean energy transition for organizations chasing audacious climate goals”, said managing director Geoff Grimmer. “By working closely with policy leaders, start-up firms, climate action non-profits and electric utilities, we have learned some short cuts to save our clients time and money.”

Who We
Work With

Carbon Mark

NZN works with any organization that is serious about taking climate action but is not sure where to start, does not have the internal capacity to execute, or simply cannot justify a full-time sustainability hire. Whether you are a small municipality with a big goal, a business that is climate curious, or an institution ready to move from intention to action, we meet you where you are.

​

We are a small shop with a wide network. When a project calls for capabilities beyond our own, we find you the right technical partners, engineers, and specialists to get it done. Our job is to make sure you never hit a dead end on the path to your climate goals, and if you do not have goals yet, we can help you build them.

​

We are particularly focused on helping organizations identify and act on the low-hanging fruit: scaling proven clean energy technologies and improving the systems that deliver them, because that is where meaningful GHG reductions happen fastest. That often means bringing the right institutions together around a shared regional goal, whether that is clean energy resilience for a critical county asset, a regional decarbonization initiative, or a community ready to move faster than any single organization could on its own.

How We Help

Regional Clean Energy Convening

Some of the most important clean energy work happens before a single project breaks ground. NZN connects municipalities, utilities, federal agencies, transportation authorities, and community leaders across the western slope, helping the right people find each other at the right moment. We navigate institutional relationships, identify funding pathways, and facilitate the community-led processes that determine whether a regional clean energy initiative actually moves forward.

Commercial Project Development

NZN identifies and helps develop larger scale clean energy and sustainability opportunities for public and private organizations across Colorado. We source, scope, and structure projects, connecting clients with the engineering and technical partners needed to take them from concept to reality.

Incentive Navigation and Program Access

Colorado homeowners, contractors, and municipalities have access to more clean energy incentive funding than ever before. But the path to that money is fragmented and full of gaps that quietly undo the best intentions. NZN serves as a neutral navigator, connecting all parties to the right programs and resources so that available funding produces real emissions reductions across the western slope.

Climate Action, GHG Accounting & Ecosystem Services

We build climate action plans grounded in data and scaled to your resources, including Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions assessments, lifecycle GHG impact modeling, and natural capital valuation that quantifies what intact ecosystems and conservation alternatives are actually worth. We help communities and organizations make the case for climate action with analysis rigorous enough to hold up in any room.

Values

Everything we do at NZN starts with what is best for future generations. We are living at an incredible time, where the longevity of the species faces some serious questions. But technologies that were considered “alternative” ten years ago are competing and winning in the marketplace. At both the system level and the personal level, Coloradans are attacking GHG reductions that bring new hope, new joy, and the possibility of a cleaner future for our planet.
