How It Works

From farm GPS to
verified carbon credit — in seconds.

01
📍
Farm Registration
Farmer or cooperative submits GPS boundary coordinates via web dashboard or API. No hardware required.
02
🛰️
Satellite Data Pull
Google Earth Engine API fetches 3 years of Sentinel-2 optical + Sentinel-1 SAR radar data. Cloud-penetrating, year-round.
03
🤖
AI Inference
26-feature RandomForest model (R²=0.980) estimates carbon reduction. Uncertainty ±2.9% — 5× better than Verra's 15% threshold.
04
📄
Credit Issuance
Verra-eligible MRV report auto-generated. Credits listed on marketplace. Farmer receives 88% of sale proceeds.

Built on open satellite data.
Zero marginal cost per farm.

🛰️
Dual Satellite Fusion
ESA Sentinel-2 (NDVI, EVI, LSWI, NDRE) + Sentinel-1 SAR (VV/VH polarization). SAR penetrates monsoon cloud cover — enabling year-round data collection in Vietnam and Indonesia.

Target Markets

Starting in Southeast Asia.
Scaling across Asia-Pacific.

We go where the carbon potential is highest and the infrastructure is lowest — exactly where existing players don't serve.

EcoAi Signal
Field audits are broken
-99% operating profit in 2024. Manual MRV can't scale. Terravo's AI automation solves exactly this structural failure.
Pachama Signal
Satellite MRV validated
$79M raised, acquired for forest carbon. Proves the model works. Terravo applies the same approach to agriculture — a market Pachama never entered.
Market Gap
500M farmers, 0 platforms
Every major player focuses on large-scale projects. The smallholder market — $12B by 2030 — has no dedicated AI-native platform. That's Terravo's lane.
