Mission 6 Software (OTA)

OCCUPY SOIL

Rebuild the soil. Sequester the carbon. Verify from orbit.

Revenue Potential $250–500M/year

Carbon Sequestration Potential 2.6 Gt CO₂/year

Revenue per Credit $15–50/ton CO₂

Verification Accuracy 99.2%

Coverage Full equatorial belt (±30°)

01 Mission Briefing

Terra Preta — the ancient Amazonian dark earth — is the most effective soil carbon sequestration technology ever developed. EquaSat's dMRV (digital Measurement, Reporting, and Verification) platform uses orbital SAR and multispectral imaging to verify biochar deployment across the equatorial belt, generating tradeable carbon credits at scale.

02 Problem & Inversion

The Challenge

Current carbon credit verification relies on expensive, infrequent ground-based audits that are easily gamed. 90% of voluntary carbon credits have been found to be worthless. Meanwhile, tropical soils — the largest potential carbon sink — are degrading at 24 billion tons per year.

The Inversion

EquaSat provides continuous, tamper-proof orbital verification of soil carbon sequestration. Every biochar deployment is monitored by SAR radar (works through clouds), multispectral analysis (measures soil organic carbon), and AI classification (detects fraud). Carbon credits are issued automatically when verification thresholds are met.

03 Operational Protocol

Step 1

Biochar is produced from agricultural waste and applied to tropical soils

Step 2

EquaSat SAR satellites scan treated areas every 3–5 days, penetrating cloud cover

Step 3

Multispectral sensors measure soil organic carbon content changes

Step 4

AI models compare pre/post treatment data to quantify sequestration

Step 5

Verified carbon credits are automatically issued to the SCC carbon registry

Step 6

Credits are traded on global carbon markets, revenue flows back to farmers
