Green energy, fuels and supercomputing: Open Origin builds and operates the infrastructure of the future, producing green ammonia for hydrogen transport and storage, marine fuel and carbon free fertilizer. In addition, we build, own and operate Ziastra: the worlds first commercial supercomputer going live in 2025 Q1, fueling the insatiable demand for AI and immersive virtual experiences using entirely renewable energy. Each of our planned facilities will consist of over 3GW of new solar arrays, 3GW of advanced hydrolyzers and will produce an average of 350 MT per day of Hydrogen which we convert to green ammonia for storage and shipment. In addition, we deploy 10 supercomputing modules, custom made for us by Eviden (formerly Atos) with a total processing power of over 800 petaflops per site for Ziastra, generated by 20,000 NVIDIA B200 GPUs, powered entirely by solar and consuming zero water for cooling. Open Origin. Fuel the Future.

At Semidiri, our goal is to make a significant impact on the pressing issue of climate change through profitable investments. These investments bridge the gap between climate solutions and the resources required for success. Many people are already hard at work developing promising technologies and projects that reduce or remove carbon emissions. Fortunately, much of this work has been successful in demonstrating impact through pilot-scale trials. Unfortunately, the financing gap between seed-stage and mature capital impedes many of these initiatives from reaching commercial scale. Semidiri aims to change that. We are partners in progress, not just an investment fund. Our role is to provide impactful climate projects with the financial backing and guidance necessary to succeed. Were dedicated to helping these projects achieve commercial scale.ย  Our team of passionate individuals knows that the power of capital markets, when utilized effectively, catalyzes global change. We believe that financing profitable climate solutions and unlocking the full breadth of the capital markets is essential to a sustainable future. We are committed to helping build that future.
