in OPENLY
"In order to achieve the Paris climate targets of net zero by 2050, negative emission technologies are necessary. Carbon storing in biogenic building materials is an effective way forward, as prescribed by the EU. OPENLY sees buildings as carbon storage and wants to become a megacorn in 2027 as a carbon sink manager."
The building that started
it all
The proof has been provided that serial net zero construction is possible in the system with bionic building materials.
In line with the idea of the platform economy, our training of builders and architects takes place every month for the greatest possible global scaling and the greatest possible climate impact. Because the main goal number 1 must be to prevent CO2 emissions.
Consulting mandates are underway and a number of OPENLYs are in the implementation planning phase at decentralized architectural firms. De facto, we are not that far removed from "large construction systems" such as NOKERA and GROPYUS with their billion-euro valuations and unit quantity fantasies in the tens of thousands. However, our lean approach is completely different, because the problem is not automated production and certainly not storytelling (...we also have a photo with Federal Building Minister Geywitz).
Our global ambition, which we underlined at MIPIM 2024 in Cannes on the Road to Zero, is 100 OPENLYs per year (= approx. 2000 apartments p.a.) that are planned, built or renovated with our construction system. Worldwide.
Global thinking -
planned and built regionally
Our fully scalable business model is mainly supported by CO2 certificates on biogenic building materials:
Vision: Global market leader for the certification of biogenic C sinks in buildings
OPENLY is extremely exciting for around 50,000 companies that fall under EU taxonomy reporting. With their own construction activities (including refurbishment), the operational CO2 balance can be improved by means of insetting or C sinks can be purchased from other buildings.
Our ambition is to certify around 100,000 tons of C-sink by 2025/6 and to become a megacorn by 2027.
We are looking for a strategic investor who shares our vision of the bionic building system and biogenic C-sink in the long term (5-20 years).
With this horizon, the vast majority of VCs and speculators drop out of the race. And you won't find any startup PowerPoint acrobats with field hockey stick presentations on their laptops. Our KPI framework has space on an A4 page, but we take it incredibly seriously. Visit Valley Widnau and see for yourself.
Openly Friends
We have a circle of Openly Friends who are helping to finance the new Global Material C-Sink Standard with interest-bearing loans.
"In an unedited interview with Peter Richner, head of EMPA (Swiss Material & Testing Institute), Andy Keel talks about how surprisingly little buyers care that their future home was built CO2-neutral and what the floppy disk has to do with carbon capture.
