Seqana

What Seqana does

Seqana is a Berlin-based climate tech company founded in 2020 that provides digital Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) tooling for quantifying soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. The company targets two enterprise segments: agrifood corporations pursuing Scope 3 emissions reduction and insetting programs (Danone, BASF, Bayer, KWS), and carbon project developers generating credits in the voluntary carbon market (eAgronom, Klim, Loam Bio, Gaiago). It also positions itself as a contributor to methodology standards, having co-authored Verra's VM0042 Version 3 and the Gold Standard SOC Model Guidelines.

The core technology pairs satellite imagery with proprietary machine learning models and a growing ground-truth soil database to produce Digital Soil Maps and Model Assisted Estimations that quantify SOC stocks across project areas. Seqana's product surface comprises consultative engagements (MRV Blueprint workshops, SOC Potential Analysis, SOC Sampling Design), an enhancement module (Seqana Precision Layer), and free public tools (EONS, MDD, and True-Up Sample Size calculators) that drive top-of-funnel demand. The company claims a 40% reduction in soil carbon measurement costs relative to traditional sampling, supported by optimization logic in the EONS approach that balances scientific rigor against uncertainty deductions.

The business model is sales-led B2B SaaS with enterprise, quote-based pricing on annual contracts. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales with inside sales and content-driven demand generation. Operations span 25+ countries covering 1.8 million hectares, with projected customer outcomes of 7.5 million tCO2e in removals over the next five years. Total disclosed funding is approximately €5.3 million across a 2024 €2.1M seed (HTGF and Counteract) and a 2026 €3.2M round (Pymwymic-led), supplemented by European Innovation Council, ESA, and RootCamp grants.

Core offering

Seqana provides digital Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) software for quantifying soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration in carbon farming projects. The company combines satellite imagery with proprietary machine learning models and ground-truth soil data to deliver Digital Soil Maps, Model Assisted Estimation, and tailored sampling designs, sold as MRV-as-a-Service subscriptions to agrifood corporations and carbon project developers.

Product overview

Seqana provides a digital MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification) platform for quantifying soil health with a focus on soil organic carbon (SOC) measurement. The platform consists of core consulting and analysis products (MRV Blueprint, SOC Potential Analysis, SOC Sampling Design) combined with a proprietary technology layer (Seqana Precision Layer with Digital Soil Maps and Model Assisted Estimations). The offering is complemented by free online calculator tools (EONS Calculator, MDD Calculator, True-Up Calculator) that help project developers determine optimal sample sizes. The company leverages satellite imagery and machine learning models paired with ground truth soil data to enable scalable, scientifically rigorous soil carbon quantification for agrifood companies and carbon project developers.

Partnerships

Six partnerships are on record, tiered core, supporting and flagship.

• VerracoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 17 June 2026Seqana co-authored Verra's VM0042 v3 methodology (the leading soil carbon methodology for the voluntary carbon market) alongside Terracarbon. This positions Seqana as a key contributor to VCM standards development.
• Sustainable AGsupportingStrategic or Co-development Partner · 17 June 2026Co-authored Gold Standard SOC Model Guidelines with Sustainable AG in coordination with Gold Standard. Dr. Rainer Nerger from Sustainable AG provided testimonials praising Seqana's sampling approach as 'reliable and robust and well appropriate for a solid and science-based project MRV.'
• eAgronomflagshipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 24 February 2026Estonian regenerative agriculture project developer partnership covering 300,000+ hectares across 6 European countries (Spain, Romania, Ukraine). eAgronom provides farm-level data and carbon farming project development while Seqana delivers MRV expertise, sample size calculations, and sampling plans. Together enabling scalable, credible carbon projects.
• Gold StandardcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 3 June 2024Seqana is contracted by Gold Standard to develop soil carbon measurement protocols.

Direct peers

• CIBO Technologies: CIBO Technologies is a US-based agriculture intelligence platform combining satellite imagery, modeling, and ground-truth data to quantify soil carbon and yield. It serves agrifood corporates and project developers with the same digital soil-carbon MRV stack as Seqana, making it the closest direct competitor.
• Terracarbon: Terracarbon is an end-to-end soil carbon project developer and MRV provider; notably, it co-authored Verra's VM0042 v3 alongside Seqana. Both companies operate at the intersection of dMRV tooling and carbon project delivery for the voluntary carbon market.
• Regrow: Regrow combines remote sensing, biogeochemical models, and ground sampling into a soil carbon MRV platform sold to agrifood companies and project developers. It is one of Seqana's primary direct competitors in the dMRV-for-agriculture space.
• Agreena (Carbology): Agreena (rebranding to Carbology) is a European regenerative agriculture carbon platform issuing soil carbon credits to farmers and selling them to corporate buyers. It both develops projects and runs its own MRV, directly competing with Seqana's offerings in the same European market.
• Soil Capital: Soil Capital is a Belgium-based agrifood carbon program that quantifies soil carbon sequestration for European farmers and sells verified credits to corporates. It overlaps with Seqana on agrifood Scope 3 supply chain SOC MRV.
• Boomitra: Boomitra is a satellite- and soil-sampling-based carbon project developer and MRV provider operating across the Americas, Africa, and Asia. It targets the same soil-based carbon credit and supply chain MRV use cases as Seqana globally.
• Patch (formerly Soil Carbon Co): Patch develops soil carbon baselines and verification infrastructure for corporate Scope 3 and nature-based credit strategies. It overlaps with Seqana in supplying agrifood and project developer customers with SOC quantification and registry-ready reporting.

Broad incumbents

• Indigo Ag: Indigo Ag is the largest independent soil carbon credit originator and runs an integrated agritech-plus-MRV platform for both biologicals and carbon. It competes with Seqana via its Carbon Marketplace and soil carbon measurement capability for the same agrifood buyer base.

Emerging players

• Ostrom Earth: Ostrom Earth is a Germany-based startup offering satellite-based soil carbon verification to European project developers. As a smaller, regional dMRV player targeting overlapping agrifood and carbon developer customers, it is an emerging peer to Seqana.

Others

• Carbonfuture: Carbonfuture is a carbon credit infrastructure platform that issues, tracks, and retires high-quality removal credits. It does not directly compete on MRV measurement but sits adjacent in the soil-carbon project pipeline where Seqana's customers issue credits.
