DGB empowers landowners and farmers to establish a sustainable income system through our cost-effective carbon projects. With DGB's expertise in carbon project development, we can help you turn your land into a source of positive change for the environment whilst earning an income.
Biodiversity is essential for all life on Earth. Our actions impact nature and biodiversity every day, and we must take responsibility for nature conservation to ensure a sustainable, healthy future for all. Carbon credit project development is a great way to support biodiversity regeneration and nature conservation. DGB’s carbon projects demonstrate real outcomes by positively impacting the environment and offering landowners a steady income stream.
Carbon projects like reforestation and sustainable land management can provide many benefits for you and your land. It can enhance soil health, boost biodiversity, improve water quality, and promote sustainable agriculture.
It can also provide additional income and contribute to long-term sustainability. It therefore provides many environmental and economic benefits in addition to capturing carbon.
A carbon project is evaluated to check if it is in line with our strategy and has a value potential. An early analysis of risks, opportunities, and opportunity costs is done.
A detailed technical feasibility assessment is done to map the project's economic, social, and environmental impacts and opportunities alongside risk analysis and opportunity costs.
Project documentation in line with global frameworks is drafted by experts, and agreements are entered into with suppliers, partners, investors, and buyers. Staff are hired, and other inputs are secured.
Projects are independently validated and verified under leading standards. They are continuously monitored to ensure carbon capture. After this process, carbon credits are issued.
We are proud to prove, together with the project landowner, that quality, verified carbon farming from native forest conservation can provide a good economic alternative to deforestation. To avoid further deforestation in Kenya, we need solutions that can be implemented immediately, can be scaled, and are bankable.

These are the projects we are successfully running with landowners and investors. 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.
We support all farmers who are willing to adopt more sustainable farming methods. We provide value for every farmer. Just show us the land, and we'll come up with ways to help you. DGB will partner with you to adopt good practices for your farm and help you get paid for the credits you generate. Examples include adding cover crops, reducing tillage, and other methods that benefit your soil and bottom line as well as our planet. Through DGB, the increased soil carbon sequestration and reduced carbon emissions from these practices generate registry-issued carbon credits, which are increasingly in demand by major corporations.
DGB covers credit verification and soil sampling costs, and we act as your committed partner in actively working to connect with buyers and sell credits at premium market prices. Our expert team will support your carbon journey with five-year contracts and tailor-made agronomic support. Together, we'll get the most value from carbon farming long-term, both from carbon credit income and soil health improvements. So basically, farmers do the farming and we handle the rest.
Prices vary based on farm location and size. However, growers are always guaranteed a minimum payment per carbon credit. Please contact us and tell us what you have available, and we'll create a tailor-made offer for the farm.
Just give us your coordinates, and we'll take care of the rest. We do not require upfront fees or acreage minimums to participate. Cutting-edge technology, a data-driven approach, and third-party verification ensure that DGB can rapidly start and accelerate projects.
As plants in the field grow, they naturally absorb carbon from the atmosphere and store it in the soil through their roots. The amount of carbon stored can depending on the soil type of the land and the climate in which it is located.
The amount of organic carbon stored in the soil is the sum of the inputs to the soil (plant and animal remains) and the losses from the soil (decomposition, erosion and uptake in plant and animal production). If too much carbon is formed in the soil, this can reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide and improve soil quality.
All farmers and landowners can sell carbon credits. Landowners are eligible to receive carbon credits at a rate of one per tonne of CO2 to landowners. DGB helps landowners understand how much carbon their land can sequester each year.
It will require some upfront investment and can result in a temporary reduction in productivity. However, after two years, you will earn more as an organic farmer and receive income from carbon credits.
Prices for carbon credits vary continuously and depend on many factors. As of September 2021, a carbon credit trades for around $16 per metric ton of carbon dioxide stored. It’s important to note that as more businesses adopt net-zero goals, the price of carbon offsets is expected to surge in the coming years. In fact, several recent studies predict that carbon credit prices will increase by ten-fold by in the next decade, and likely more. To put things into perspective: A landowner’s farm or ranch land can absorb between 0.5 and >5 tonnes/ac/yr depending on location, soil type, and the tree canopy. This means the possibility to make as much as $1,000,000 per year on one thousand acres of land by 2030. Remember, though, that there's always a premium for custom projects like ours. This link lets you see the current carbon credit prices in real time.
