We are excited to announce the arrival of our innovative Transportable Biogas Plant(TBP) at our R&D facility in Nagpur. What began as a visionary idea during discussions with our partner Kedar Vaze and WTT has now become a reality. This week, we successfully brought ourTransportable Biogas Plant (TBP) to India, a mobile showcase of the SusBDe concept for converting waste to biogas.
Designed and built in the Netherlands in just three months, this plant is now being installed and will soon be ready for commissioning. What sets the TBP apart is its mobility – it can be transported across India, allowing for flexible deployment wherever needed and the abilityto produce biogas from waste.
This mobile solution is a breakthrough for India, demonstrating a scalable approach to waste management and biogas production. At our R&D center, we will analyze waste streams from various municipalities and showcase the TBP’s ability to efficiently convert waste into biogas. This flexibility makes it an ideal solution for addressing India’s diverse and widespread waste managementchallenges.
SusBDe is also proud to be part of the Dutch stand at IFAT in Mumbai this week, sharing our innovative, mobile solutions with a global audience.
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.
SusBDe joined the Dutch Trade Mission at IFAT India 2025 in Mumbai, presenting its Waste-to-Energy concept and engaging with partners and government leaders on advancing circular solutions in India’s growing sustainability sector.
This week, Jaap Veenenbos and Harshavardhini Varagunan represent SusBDe, it partners at the Dutch biogas sector at IFAT India 2025 in Mumbai. From the Netherlands Pavilion, they are meeting with partners, project developers, and investors to showcase how Dutch technology is driving India’s circular energy transition.
Prof. Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Prize–winning economist, engaged in in-depth discussions with Bastiaan Dijkman of SusBDe. His perspectives on inequality and climate change resonate strongly with the challenges SusBDe faces: developing profitable, scalable projects that still struggle to secure government and institutional financing. These exchanges underscored both the urgency of action and the need for persistence in building a fairer, more sustainable future.
Local Expertise. Global Impact. SusbDe’s regional partners drive the transition to circular, decentralized energy—turning waste into value across five continents. Discover how our on-the-ground network delivers smart, scalable biogas solutions that meet the world where it matters most: locally
SusBDe Strengthens International Ties at WOCA 2025: As part of our mission to drive global sustainability through biogas innovation, SusBDe participated in this year’s WOCA 2025 in France. Our presence at this international forum for circular economy leaders opened the door to exciting new collaborations across continents.
