Nature-based carbon units are becoming an increasingly desired commodity. With early investment and pre-purchases, we provide you with the opportunity to capitalise on this growing market and maximize returns through our exciting carbon financing opportunities
DGB is a leading project developer of high-quality, large-scale nature-based projects. Our projects provide various co-benefits, align with SDGs, and are independently verified. They generate premium carbon units (also called carbon credits) that comply with international standards.
These nature-based carbon units are in high demand and are purchased by companies globally to compensate for their irreducible emissions and meet sustainability goals—making them the ideal investment.
Research by EY indicates the price of voluntary carbon units will likely triple between now and 2035 and could rise as much as six times.
The global carbon compensation market was estimated at $4 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow almost 40% from 2024 to 2030.
Through forward contracts, we can create binding agreements in which DGB commits to deliver emission reductions to the buyer at a predefined time and price. These contracts are a great way to eliminate market price risks and secure the desired transaction price months or years in advance. This arrangement protects DGB from falling market prices and the buyer from rising market prices.
Your carbon finance will directly benefit our Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) projects. For instance, it allows us to scale our Cameroon reforestation project or increase the habitat for endangered chimpanzees in Uganda. Each project has unique benefits, and all support biodiversity enrichment and sustainable community development.
A quality carbon unit represents 1 tonne of additional, permanent, and otherwise unclaimed CO2 emissions reductions or removals and creates positive environmental and social impacts. Our units are validated and verified by independent third-party certification bodies, ensuring their quality and impact.
Besides adding to your bottom line, our carbon finance projects create the following benefits for the environment and local communities.
DGB not only assures emissions reductions but benefits for local communities too. For instance, by providing jobs, increasing food security by planting fruit trees, or improving health by distributing clean and energy-efficient cookstoves, we improve the livelihoods of local communities.
Due to lower human capital accumulation and a lack of employment opportunities, African women are particularly vulnerable. We empower these women by employing them at our nurseries. Moreover, our cookstove projects help reduce the time women and children spend collecting firewood.
The conservation of wildlife and biodiversity is crucial to protect our planet and to ensure our collective wellbeing as we move into the twenty-first century. Through carbon credit financing, we get to restore biodiversity, create vital habitats for wildlife, and revive ecosystems, creating a healthier planet.
DGB has a strong project pipeline of nature-based projects worldwide. Explore our diverse portfolio and discover how we are creating tangible environmental and social impacts that go beyond carbon reduction.
The Bulindi Chimpanzee Habitat Restoration project aims to rapidly restore the declining chimpanzee habitat in Bulindi, Uganda, through active afforestation and community involvement.
The Hongera Reforestation Project is a large-scale project that focuses on planting trees in catchment areas in Mt Kenya and the Aberdares, which are essential for water security and increasing levels of biodiversity.
The Greenzone Afforestation Project is a large-scale nature-based project to restore nature, create forests, and promote sustainable development, positively impacting local communities and the environment.
