Boomitra

Boomitra is a soil-carbon project developer and MRV operator that pairs satellite models with soil-sample archives to quantify soil-organic-carbon removals under Verra’s VM0042, working across India, Latin America and East Africa. It won the 2023 Earthshot Prize.

What they do

Inside Boomitra

Boomitra runs end-to-end soil-carbon projects: it combines satellite-based modelling with soil-sample data to estimate soil-organic-carbon stock change and issues credits under Verra’s VM0042 methodology.

It is a carbon-project developer rather than a software or API vendor, so its value to a system of record is the underlying measurement datasets rather than its credit layer. It won the 2023 Earthshot Prize (Fix Our Climate) and operates across India, Latin America and East Africa.

Because it owns the full MRV-to-credit stack, it overlaps competitively with a nature dMRV system of record, particularly in Global-South geographies.

Host, don’t absorb

How Straatos integrates Boomitra

Owns the full soil-MRV-to-credit stack in overlapping geographies, so the raw datasets are the target, not the credit layer; differentiate on FPIC, benefit-sharing and breadth.

01

Dataset feed

Treat Boomitra soil-carbon measurement datasets as a potential evidence input, distinct from its competing credit layer.

02

Methodology overlap

Map VM0042-based outputs onto comparable soil-carbon schemas where projects are jointly observed.

03

Geographic read

Use its Global-South footprint as a market and differentiation reference rather than a default integration.
