Cotierra (formerly Terra Preta) builds biochar reactor technology and a robust monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) system tailored to coffee farms in the Global South. Its core product converts coffee tree residues into biochar and reapplies it to plantations to sequester carbon for centuries, restore soil health, and boost productivity. The company emphasizes decentralized deployment to demonstrate tangible on-the-ground benefits, including reduced supply-chain emissions and the creation of traceable, permanent carbon-removal credits. Cotierra intends to accelerate product development and field demonstrations in Colombia. It will use the recent funding to speed up development of both hardware (biochar reactors) and its MRV capabilities. The solution is positioned specifically for the unique conditions of the Global South and targets regenerative agriculture transformation in coffee.
