Operational highlights in the 2021 year to date.
* Refocused strategy centred around renewable energy opportunities and capitalising on the
global clean energy revolution.
* Proceeding with the agreement to jointly develop a portfolio of Waste to Energy projects in
South Africa with Industrial Green Energy Solutions (Pty) Ltd, which will initially develop a
phased c. 8MW project for an industrial client, to be followed by six other projects at different
sites, to a total generation of up to 50MW. This aims to address the country's insecure energy
supply environment as well as the renewable energy portfolio in the UK, currently the subject
of a due diligence investigation.
* Intention to dispose of coal assets in accordance with a disposal strategy that will realise value
for shareholders.
* Successful technical and business workshop with Mozambique Utility Electricidade De
Moçambique(“EDM”) to negotiate and agree next steps in the process towards the agreement
and finalization of a PPA for the Benga Power Project, and a formal submission of an advanced
technical and commercial information pack to EDM, as part of the ongoing development
workstreams provided for under the existing MoU with EDM and emanating from the
Definitive Feasibility Study previously submitted to EDM.
* Successful listing in April 2021 of Mast Energy Developments which raised £5.54 million to
support the company's aggressive expansion plans following the listing.
* Moreover, the market value of Kibo’s 55.42% interest in MAST is valued at c. £12 million as
of 23 September 2021, which is approximately twice the current valuation of Kibo.
* Following multiple warrant exercising and successful cash placings for the subscription of new
ordinary shares, where the Group raised in cash an aggregate amount of £6,449,513 , the Group
has adequate cash and cash equivalents (financial resources) to ensure the Group is able to
continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, after reviewing the Group’s
financial projections, the directors of the Company (the “Directors”) have a reasonable
expectation that the Group will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for
the foreseeable future. This is further expanded on in the condensed interim financial
statements.
Post period highlights and Outlook
* All conditions have been satisfied and the agreement completed with South Africa-based
Industrial Green Energy Solutions (Pty) Ltd to jointly develop a portfolio of Waste to Energy
projects in South Africa. Kibo and IGES have entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”)
to fast track the implementation of the first project. Completion of the agreement and
Amendment follows the positive findings of an extensive due diligence process.
* Completed a Heads of Terms (the "Agreement") with EQTEC Plc (AIM: EQT) ("EQTEC"),
a world-leading gasification solutions company, to acquire a 54.54% interest in the proposed
25 MWe Billingham waste gasification and power plant (the "Project") at Haverton Hill,
Teesside, UK. The Project is at advanced stages of development with a concept design for the
full plant produced, planning permission approved, grid connection offer secured. Furthermore,
the Project is expected to annually process 200,000 metric tonnes of non-recyclable everyday
Municipal Solid Waste into 25 Mwe of green electricity, enough to power 50,000 homes.
