SusBDe attended the 60th anniversary edition of IFAT 2026 in Munich, the world’s leading trade fair for environmental technologies.
The event brought together international companies, technology providers, project developers and industry experts active in the fields of circular economy, renewable energy, waste management and sustainable infrastructure.
SusBDe was represented by the SusBDe Group of Companies through CEO Jaap Veenenbos and Bastiaan Dijkman. During the exhibition, meetings were also held with representatives from Keva SusBDe Biotech and SusBDe India B.V., including Vinod Tandon and Poul Spierings.
Throughout IFAT 2026, the main focus was on developments in waste segregation technologies, PSA and membrane upgrading systems, as well as scalable biomethane and waste-to-energy solutions.
The exhibition also provided an important opportunity to reconnect with long-standing partners and technology suppliers, including WTT and Colsen, while further strengthening relationships with project partners, suppliers and international stakeholders active within the circular economy sector.
IFAT once again demonstrated the growing international momentum behind sustainable waste processing, renewable gas production and circular infrastructure development.
SusBDe would like to thank all partners, colleagues and industry professionals for the valuable meetings and discussions during these inspiring days in Munich.
We look forward to continuing these conversations during future international events, including IFAT Mumbai and IFAT Munich in 2028.
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.
Leadership Update: As of 31 March 2026, Mike van den Hof has stepped down as shareholder and director of SusBDe. Over the past four years, he contributed to the development of the company’s international activities and waste-to-energy platform.
SusBDe expands its presence in Suriname and Guyana through local representation, focusing on scalable Waste-to-Energy solutions that convert agricultural residues into renewable energy and high-quality fertilizers.
SusBDe Biotech Lanka is officially registered under BOI Section 17 and has been allocated 12 acres within the Kerawalapitiya Waste Management Zone, one of Sri Lanka’s key strategic hubs for municipal solid waste (MSW) processing.
SusBDe’s partner Pelican Biogas is advancing a portfolio of six poultry-waste-to-biogas plants in Arkansas, with SusBDe supporting the technology and process design. Each plant converts ~100,000 tons of waste into 35+ million m³ of biogas annually, applying the same technology platform used in Europe. With first operations expected in 2027, the portfolio illustrates how proven European systems enable large-scale circular energy solutions in the U.S.
Nagpur’s flagship CBG plant has entered cold commissioning, validating all core systems of a facility capable of treating up to 1,500 tonnes of MSW daily and generating 27 million m³ of renewable biogas each year. With construction complete, the project now moves into operational testing—an essential step toward one of India’s largest biomethane production hubs.
