The Problem

Carbon credits are only as good as the science behind them.

Today, that science is broken.

Periodic, not continuous
Current MRV relies on annual or multi-year field surveys. Carbon is lost between measurements with no early warning.
Spatially sparse
Sample plots covering 0.1% of a site are extrapolated to represent thousands of hectares — with no validation.
No permanence evidence
Existing methodologies cannot prove that carbon stored today will stay stored. This is the credibility crisis in voluntary carbon markets.
Our Solution

A living MRV system — from centimetres to kilometres.

Terrra replaces periodic surveys with a continuous, multi-scale measurement architecture. We instrument the field, scale with AI, and validate permanence with stratigraphic science — then close the loop with land management interventions that improve sequestration.

01
Measure
Custom IoT sensors (SequestOmeter) measure CO₂ flux, CH₄, soil moisture and microclimate in real time.
02
Scale
Satellite imagery + machine learning extrapolates point measurements across the full landscape.
03
Validate
Stratigraphic analysis and soil history data generate permanence confidence scores for each credit issued.
04
Optimise
Biochar integration and tailored land management close the loop — improving sequestration based on what the data shows.
Technology

Built from the ground up — literally.

The SequestOmeter is Terrra's custom field sensor: Sunrise CO₂ via Modbus RTU, BME280 environmental sensing, edge computing, and MQTT telemetry — all deployed in the field and feeding a unified data platform.

Hardware
Custom IoT sensor — CO₂, CH₄, soil, microclimate. Solar-powered, IP67.
Telemetry
MQTT pipeline → InfluxDB real-time ingestion → S3 data lake.
AI & Scaling
Satellite-based proxy indicators + ML spatial models. From sensor to landscape.
Permanence
Deep soil stratigraphy + historical carbon analysis + stability scoring.
Platform
Web platform for project managers, field teams, and carbon standard auditors.

Market Opportunity

A market demanding integrity at scale.

The voluntary carbon market is projected to reach $50B by 2030 — but only if credibility is restored. Soil carbon represents the largest natural carbon sink on Earth. Terrra's MRV infrastructure becomes the trust layer for this market.

Business Model

Revenue from measurement, not from carbon.

Terrra's independence from the credits themselves is a feature, not a bug. Our customers pay for the infrastructure — aligning incentives with accuracy, not volume.

MRV-as-a-Service
Annual subscription per monitored site. Includes hardware deployment, data platform access, permanence scoring, and audit-ready reporting.
Methodology Licensing
Terrra's VM0042 implementation and permanence scoring methodology licensed to other MRV providers and carbon standard bodies.
Data Platform
API access to aggregated, anonymised landscape carbon data — for financial institutions, reinsurers, and carbon market infrastructure.
