DGB Group releases Q2 2024 update

DGB Group N.V. (“DGB”, “the Group”, or “the Company”) (Euronext: DGB: NL000916951), a leading carbon project developer and ecosystem restoration company, provides an update on its performance during Q2 of 2024. During this time, the Group made significant strides in advancing its roadmap’s strategic objectives and measurable targets for the near future. 

Key highlights

  • Project pipeline: During the last quarter, DGB's Greenzone Reforestation Project in Cameroon faced delays, while the Bulindi Chimpanzee Habitat Restoration Project in Uganda progressed ahead of schedule. Other projects remained on track. As a result, DGB’s total expected carbon unit pipeline increased from 60.1 million in Q1 to 61 million in Q2. DGB aims to reach 75 million carbon units in its pipeline by Q4 2024 through further expansion of current projects and the initiation of new verified carbon project initiatives.

  • Project validation: In Q2, DGB achieved its first project validation for the Hongera Energy Efficient Cookstoves Project in Kenya. This initiative is anticipated to generate approximately 2.5 million carbon units (carbon credits) with annual issuances of about 350,000 units from 2024 to 2030. DGB is now preparing for the validation of three other proprietary projects, with a goal of having at least three projects validated by the end of 2024.

The graph below outlines DGB’s expected carbon unit issuances. This outlook indicates that DGB is on track to exceed its financial outlook set in January 2023.

  • Offtake Agreements: In March 2022, DGB secured its first €1+ million offtake agreement. During Q2, DGB received a €150,000 payment from a client and also concluded sales with new SMEs, thereby expanding its client portfolio. The Company aims to establish €2+ million in offtake agreements by the end of 2024.

  • Financial updates: DGB announced the sale of a 40% stake in Corekees Management B.V. for €500,000 as part of a larger investment round in which Corekees raised new funds to fuel its growth. DGB retains a 10% stake in Corekees, now valued at €5 million. Additionally in June, DGB launched a share buy-back programme
  • Market share: DGB aims to expand its market share in sub-Saharan Africa for nature restoration projects under the Gold Standard and Verra (registered and pipeline), as well as its global market share for similar projects. Among the various methodologies and approaches to verified carbon projects, DGB remains a specialist in agroforestry solutions in collaborations with smallholder farmers, consistently achieving high-quality, high-integrity, biodiversity-focused, community-based credits.
