Cotierra's biochar solution is uniquely designed for the agricultural conditions of the Global South, beginning with Colombian coffee farms.

, a Swiss-Colombian carbon removal and AgTech startup aim to do with the $1 million in pre-seed funding they just received from a consortium of environmental and climate-focused investors. The investment will support the development of its biochar reactor technology and Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification system in Colombia, the world’s third largest coffee producer.

Agriculture, forestry, and other land-use sectors account for 23% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. For agricultural industries across the globe, CDR and AgTech companies say biochar can at once remove carbon from the atmosphere while enriching soil, improving production. This is a particularly appealing solution, Cotierra says, in the Global South, with most agricultural land experiencing soil carbon loss.

Cotierra says its tamper-proof MRV system will support the accurate tracking of carbon removal. Better data collected through the integrated MRV can help to better inform policy-making and CDR adoption at a larger scale. On that note, the startup aims to fast-track the development and prove operational feasibility in Colombia to scale up in other agricultural regions.
