A new phase for SusBDe, and announces leadership transition
SusBDe announces that Mike van den Hof has stepped down as shareholder and director of the company effective 31 March 2026.
Since July 2023, Mike has contributed as director and shareholder to the development of SusBDe’s activities and early international project development within the company’s waste-to-energy platform. During this period SusBDe has continued to expand its technology platform and international project pipeline, focusing on scalable circular waste solutions based on dry and wet anaerobic digestion technology.
An important milestone in this development is the upcoming opening of the Nagpur waste-to-energy project in India later this year.
At the same time SusBDe continues to advance new opportunities in Europe (Ukraine, Poland, France), Brazil and Asia, including project development in Sri Lanka.
Mike will transfer his duties over the next weeks. SusBDe thanks Mike for his contribution during the past years and wishes him success in his future activities.
SusBDe remains fully committed to the continued development of its international projects and partnerships in the field of circular waste management and sustainable energy solutions.

What began as a vision in 2021 has become one of India's leading municipal waste-to-biomethane projects. The Nagpur project demonstrates how perseverance, international collaboration and innovative technology can transform ambitious ideas into reality. As the project moves towards completion, it not only marks a major milestone for SusBDe and its partners, but also establishes a blueprint for the next generation of circular economy projects across India.
Following recent high-level meetings with key stakeholders in Sri Lanka, SusBDe has taken another important step towards the development of sustainable waste-to-biomethane infrastructure. During a presentation to the Maharagama Urban Council, SusBDe demonstrated how its integrated MSW-to-CBG technology can transform municipal waste into renewable energy while supporting Sri Lanka's circular economy ambitions.
SusBDe has taken an important step in advancing its sustainable waste-to-biomethane initiatives in Sri Lanka through high-level discussions with the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Embassy has expressed strong confidence in SusBDe's innovative Dutch technology and will actively support the company's engagement with government authorities and strategic partners to accelerate the development of future renewable energy projects.
SusBDe strengthens its Advisory Board with the appointment of Bert Jägel as Chairman. The renewed Advisory Board will play a more active role in supporting the company's international growth, strategic development, and long-term mission in circular waste-to-energy and biomethane infrastructure.
'TEMPORARY UPDATE: Safety and security of our people in India remain our highest priority. As a precautionary measure, SusBDe has temporarily adjusted selected public team information while continuing all operations and commitments unchanged.
SusBDe attended the 60th anniversary edition of IFAT 2026 in Munich together with representatives from the SusBDe Group of Companies, Keva SusBDe Biotech and SusBDe India B.V. The visit focused on developments in waste segregation, PSA and membrane technologies, biomethane solutions and strengthening relationships with international partners, suppliers and technology providers.
SusBDe welcomes Mr. Sunil Kumar Bains as India Representative, bringing over 37 years of experience in Oil & Gas, CGD, and renewable gas infrastructure to drive SusBDe's expansion in the Indian bioenergy market.
