About Geelhoed Group

Geelhoed Group is a Dutch company headquartered in Moordrecht, Netherlands, operating across two specialist divisions: Geelhoed Group International (waste-to-energy technology) and Geelhoed Engineering (structural design and engineering consultancy).

Together these two divisions cover the full technical spectrum of WBA's sustainable infrastructure projects — from the structural design of water plants, housing, and industrial facilities, to the waste-to-energy systems that power them. Geelhoed brings over 20 years of proven technology and engineering experience to every project it undertakes.

Division 1

Geelhoed Group International

Transforming waste and natural resources into sustainable energy — with over 20 years of proven technology and active projects across Europe and Africa.

Waste-to-Energy

Transforming Nature and Waste into Value

Geelhoed Group International designs, builds, and operates waste-to-energy plants using two core technologies: pyrolysis and biodiesel esterification. Their mission — "Transforming nature and waste into value" — is realised through increasing circularity and sustainability globally using proven, commercially viable processes.

The division provides full EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) contract support, in-house engineering capabilities, and guaranteed minimum output standards — giving investors and project partners confidence in both delivery and returns.

🔥

Pyrolysis

Converts waste tyres, plastics, and organic matter into fuel oil, combustible gas, and bio-char. Proven technology in continuous use and refinement since the early 20th century.

→ Waste tyres & plastics converted to fuel
→ Bio-char from natural organic products
→ Reduces landfill & environmental pollution
→ Active plants: Rotterdam & Angola

🌿

Biodiesel Esterification

Produces high-grade biodiesel from vegetable oils and waste feedstocks. Processes virgin oils as well as used cooking oil (UCO) and animal fats into clean-burning commercial fuel.

→ Rapeseed, soybean & sunflower oil
→ Used cooking oil & animal fat feedstocks
→ European-standard fuel output
→ Links directly to WBA agricultural value chains

Partnership Rationale

Why WBA & Geelhoed

With two complementary divisions, Geelhoed provides WBA with an unusually complete technical partnership — covering both energy technology and structural engineering in a single relationship.

Complete Technical Coverage

Geelhoed Engineering designs the structures — water plants, housing, industrial facilities. Geelhoed Group International installs the energy and waste systems inside them. One partner, full delivery capability.

EcoSystem Integration

Geelhoed's waste-to-energy technology fits directly into the Waste Energy Plant component of WBA's Total EcoSystem model, converting agricultural and municipal waste into power for the entire system.

Shared African Footprint

Geelhoed Group International is already active in Nigeria and Senegal — directly overlapping with WBA's project pipeline. The African operational track record in Angola further validates their on-the-ground capability.

Dutch Engineering Standards

Both WBA's managing director and Geelhoed are Netherlands-based. This shared context means aligned standards, governance expectations, and a mutual understanding of what disciplined project execution looks like.
