ANA Future Frontier Fund Invests in Terraton Industrial, Inc.


TOKYO, August 29, 2025 - ANA HOLDINGS INC. (hereinafter "ANA HD"), through its corporate venture capital (CVC) fund "ANA Future Frontier Fund L.P.", today announced its investment in Terraton Industrial, Inc. (Terraton), a U.S.-based software platform provider that scales biochar carbon removal.

Agricultural businesses in regions burdened by climate impacts and rising production costs are struggling to remain profitable. Biochar presents a promising solution by converting unused agricultural waste into stable carbon that improves soil health and generates additional income through verified carbon credits. Yet, its broader adoption has been limited by high upfront costs, operational complexity, and restricted market access.

Terraton is addressing these barriers with a vertically integrated platform that combines software, hardware, and financing to help operators launch and manage biochar facilities with minimal initial investment. Through this model, agribusinesses can efficiently run reliable operations while monetizing carbon credits. Terraton has already launched two projects—including one with cocoa farmers in Ghana—and secured a pre-purchase agreement for carbon credits, providing early validation and traction for its approach.

ANAHD made the decision to invest in Terraton for its unique platform that addresses the carbon credit supply gap while creating new revenue streams for agribusiness operators and strengthening local economies. Through this investment, ANAHD aims to support Terraton's growth and help accelerate the global transition to a low-carbon economy.
