to eliminate greenium

First of all: The profit-oriented Openly AG (holding company) is privately owned (non-speculative) and has no financing requirements. We offer several attractive investment opportunities in the world of biogenic construction (see below).

We are driven by climate change, as 25% of global annual CO2 emissions come from the construction industry. That is around 8 times more than all air traffic. As a global society, we need to focus on fossil-free building materials that are as renewable and recyclable as possible.

The Openly Vision:
Turning commercial and residential buildings from carbon emitters into carbon sinks. To date, no one has achieved a commercially scalable building system that would encourage further carbon capture and storage. Our building system makes it possible to store around 250kg of CO2 per m2 of gross floor area. With milton.earth we offer a financial incentive for biogenic building.

The potential:
The annual certifiable potential from biogenic C sinks* in building materials is > 5 Giga tons p.a., which corresponds to a global annual market value of approx. 1 trillion USD.

The legal situation:
The OPENLY construction system reduces construction emissions by > 50% and, with 6 kg CO2 emissions per m2, achieves the statutory target values for Denmark in 2029.

The building system:
Our approach consists of sharing. We follow the building system ideas of Gropyus and Nokera, but make the building system openly available with the Openly.Lab and Openly.Data. Not every client and not every architecture firm has to reinvent everything. Global thinking, decentralized planning and construction.

Our investment opportunities

Biogenic building materials are primarily more expensive because they are not mass-produced. We call this "greenium". We call on (impact) investors to invest with us.

  • Educated people at openly/lab: 800

Achieved by the end of 2024: 19 units completed, 44 in execution planning, 357 apartments in the pipeline

**milton.earth - Trading with CO2 certificates

With the milton.earth brand, we have established a sales channel to sell C-sinks (removals) on the voluntary carbon market on behalf of real estate manufacturers. This enables us to subsidize the higher construction costs of biogenic building materials by approx. 1%. (see Openly/certificate)

Pilot certifications of 10,000 tons are planned for 2025. We are aiming for 100,000 tons in 2026 and 1 million tons per year from 2027.

The trading margin is approx. 25% and the CO2 certificate prices paid range from approx. 70 euros(current price on the ETS exchange in Frankfurt) to 470 euros, which corresponds to the internal CO2 price of the Swiss Confederation.

milton.earth keeps its own balance sheet and currently offers the removals for sale to offsetting customers for EUR 200 per ton.
