Boomitra, a leader in carbon project development and Earthshot Prize Winner, announced that its Northern Mexico Grasslands Restoration Project has been registered by Verra, the world’s leading carbon credit standard.
This project is one of the largest Verra-registered soil carbon projects under VM0042, marking a significant milestone for both Boomitra and the growing soil carbon sector.
The registration validates Boomitra’s satellite-powered AI technology as a scalable and transformative solution for climate action. Credit issuance will follow the completion of the project’s verification audit, expected in 2025.
Boomitra’s flagship project, which spans 1.5 million acres across the Chihuahuan and Sonoran deserts, promotes regenerative grazing practices that enhance carbon sequestration, improve biodiversity, and restore fragile ecosystems.
The project has been rigorously designed to meet Verra’s VM0042 Soil Carbon Methodology criteria, ensuring high-quality carbon removal credits. Working alongside nine on-the-ground partners and 139 ranchers, Boomitra has already expanded the project to 4 million acres over the last year, with plans to expand further in the coming years.

“The registration of our first project by Verra is a pivotal moment for Boomitra,” said Aadith Moorthy, CEO and Founder of Boomitra.
“Achieving registration under VM0042, Verra’s most rigorous methodology for soil carbon, validates our innovative AI approach to soil carbon measurement and paves the way for the registration of our other projects worldwide. Soil carbon sequestration remains one of the most underutilized climate solutions, despite its vast potential to store carbon while improving soil health and farmer livelihoods. This milestone represents our commitment to scaling high-quality soil carbon projects and supporting farmers and ranchers across the Global South to mitigate and adapt to climate change.”
