Morgan Bierschenk /// Co-founder of Geoship - Revolutionizing Homebuilding Through Innovative and Sustainable Ceramic Domes
In episode 185 of the Disruptors for GOOD podcast, I speak with Morgan Bierschenk, co-founder of Geoship on revolutionizing homebuilding, through innovative and sustainable ceramic domes.In a world grappling with pressing environmental and social challenges, the need for sustainable housing solutions has never been more critical.The escalating costs of homebuilding pose a significant challenge in today's world. Not only do construction and operation activities contribute to nearly 50% of global CO2 emissions, but they also fall victim to the destructive impacts of extreme weather events.As our planet welcomes 3.6 billion additional inhabitants this century, the need for 2 billion new homes becomes a pressing matter.However, this demand must be met while striving for net-zero carbon emissions. It is evident that homebuilding stands at the forefront of humanity's most crucial issues in the coming decades.Geoship, an innovative company, has emerged as a pioneer in the field of sustainable housing, offering a groundbreaking approach to building eco-friendly and affordable homes.Through their unique geodesic dome design, Geoship aims to revolutionize the housing industry, providing resilient and regenerative homes that are energy-efficient and resistant to changing weather conditions.By 2026, Geoship aims to manufacture 10,000 domes per year in a 200,000 square foot factory located in Nevada City, CA. Their ultimate goal is to make the best home on Earth the most affordable home, and scale manufacturing to 1 million bioceramic domes per year by 2036!
