SusBDe is a Netherlands and Cyprus based developer and platform operator focused on utility-scale biogas production in Europe. The platform aggregates high-quality, fully permitted biogas projects powered by chicken litter and poultry waste — one of the highest-yielding organic feedstocks for anaerobic digestion.
This memorandum outlines an institutional-grade opportunity to (co-)invest in a portfolio of projects across Poland and broader Europe with targeted equity participation at the asset level and a structured platform strategy. Investors receive milestone-secured equity, annual dividends, capital protection via guarantees, and exit potential based on EBITDA-multiple driven enterprise value.
The European Commission’s Green Deal and RED II directive target 35 bcm of biomethane production by 2030, creating a €40–50 billion investment opportunity in the renewable gas sector. Poland, the largest poultry producer in the EU, generates over 20 million tonnes of chicken litter annually — an underutilized resource with exceptionally high biomethane potential.
Anaerobic digestion (AD) of chicken litter produces stable, baseload renewable energy, qualifying for feed-in tariffs, carbon credits (CERs), and EU grants. Our projects are designed for 2.5 MW gas equivalent to 1 - 3 MW electricity output, converting 22,000 to 66,000 tonnes of poultry waste per plant, and generating strong cash flows from multiple revenue streams:
SusBDe operates as a developer and provides technology to the Platform Company. The role of EPCM (Engineering, Procurement & Construction Management) contractor is organised by SusBDe whule contractin an EPC partner.
The Platform Company structures projects under dedicated Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) and co-invests alongside investors.
Each project follows a milestone-based drawdown structure:
SusBDe is currently seeking institutional investors willing to commit capital into a structured facility. This facility allows for flexible capital drawdowns over time, aligned with the development and construction schedule of multiple biogas assets. In essence, investors allocate capital to the platform, which is then deployed on a milestone basis to fund land acquisition, permitting, EPC execution, and commissioning. SusBDe takes full operational responsibility for project execution, ensuring capital is deployed only when risk criteria are met and verified by third-party advisors.
The facility is routed via a jointly held development company and projects organised in Special Purpose Vehikels. Investors are equity participants in both!
Each biogas asset is modeled to generate stable EBITDA is approx. €1.0 million annually, depending on capacity and region. Plants operate under long-term feedstock contracts with poultry producers and pre-arranged energy sales.
Exit valuations are based on current M&A benchmarks for operational biogas plants in the EU, which transact at EBITDA multiples of 8–14x, where calcualtions are based on the average of 10.
Illustrative enterprise value per 1 MW plant:
Platform-level exit or refinancing options can include
SusBDe projects are de-risked by an integrated insurance and guarantee structure. All projects are verified at each stage by independent engineers and supported by local legal, permitting, and environmental consultants.
The insured performance guarantee compensates any financial shortfall of a lack of gas production.

The initial project portfolio includes 4 sites in Poland with a combined capacity of 10 MWg and access to over 110,000 tonnes/year of poultry waste. All sites are located in high-density poultry farming regions.
Each project will have:
The following example outlines the expected financial profile of a typical 2.5 MW project within the SusBDe platform, using chicken litter as feedstock:
Based on a conservative exit scenario using standard EU biogas market benchmarks:
€1.3 million
8x – 14x
€10.4M – €18.2M
~€3.2 million
14% – 18%
Year 5 or longer (investor’s option)
This example shows how each project in the platform can yield significant upside for equity participants, while ensuring stable cash flows and dividend income. Returns are enhanced by carbon credit monetization, digestate valorization, and EU renewable energy incentives.
To mitigate risks and secure investor returns in the renewable energy project, SusBDe provides a comprehensive set of guarantees structured around three key areas:
