A project lead by SusBDe’s partner Pelican Biogas, we share the development on a portfolio of six Chicken Litter-to-Biogas plants in the US specifically in the state of Arkansas.
SusBDe CTO Mike van den Hof is responsible for the technology selection and processdesign, ensuring full alignment with the proven systems that will also be implemented in our Polish projects. The plants will apply the same advanced fermentation and gas treatment technology that underpins its partners and SusBDe’s success.
Each US plant will process approximately 100,000 tons of poultry litter, and DAF sludge (Dissolved Air Flotation) of the slaughterhouses per year, generating over 35million cubic meters of biogas annually — equivalent to an energy value capableof supplying thousands of households while significantly reducing methane emissions from agricultural waste.
SusBDe CTO Mike van den Hof works in close cooperation with the Engineer of Record, FCE, led by John Forcier, a well know authority in the US with regards renewable energy, biogas, and water management projects, with more than 100 completed orreviewed installations across the United States.
SusBDe’s U.S. partner, Pelican Biogas, is headed by Fred Tennant, an industry veteran in renewable energy and agricultural project development, especially in the field of the development of high-quality fertilizers. His mission is to advance sustainable and profitable solutions for waste management and clean energy generation through cutting-edge technology and strategic partnerships.
The first plant is expected to achieve Commercial Operation (COD) in 2027 and will be realized in Arkansas. With an average investment volume of around USD 100 million per plant, this initiative marks a major step that demonstrates how proven European technology can accelerate the circular economy across the U.S and Europe.
More information will be shared in Q1-2026 on all partners involved and the amazing team in the U.S. that is contributing to these projects.
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.
