Arbitrage it from places where green energy is cheap or free. For example, iceland has pretty much 100% renewable energy sources. Already it has an extensive aluminum industry because energy there is cheap, and aluminum is energy-intensive to use it.
So, in theory, if you use green energy to produce a carbon-offset product, it's still a useful product.
