Tyczka Energy

What Tyczka Energy does

Tyczka Energy is the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) business of the family-owned Tyczka Group, founded in 1924 in Geretsried, Bavaria. It supplies propane and butane in tank and cylinder formats to residential, commercial, and industrial customers across Germany, with related operations in Austria and Poland. The company's underlying technology is physical infrastructure rather than software: owned bulk storage, multi-source procurement, a nationwide cylinder dealer network, custom tank installations (including avalanche-safe underground systems), and dedicated sales lines for residential, commercial/industrial, and meter customers. In 2024 it added ISCC PLUS-certified Bio LPG, which delivers up to 90% CO2 reduction versus conventional LPG without equipment changes, and in 2025 became the first company certified under the CertifHy EU RFNBO scheme for renewable hydrogen.

The Tyczka Group's revenue model blends recurring bulk LPG supply contracts (subscription tank gas for households, usage-based supply for industrial process and drive energy) with unit-priced Flaschengas (cylinder gas) sales through dealers and an online shop. Pricing is quote-based and undisclosed publicly. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct field sales for enterprise accounts, an installer partner program ('Gasgeber') for B2C, a self-service customer portal (MeinKonto) for existing accounts, and an active cylinder gas dealer network. Beyond LPG, the group operates Tyczka Hydrogen (green hydrogen production, electrolysis, tube trailer logistics, and a growing 350/700-bar refueling station network in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg) and Tyczka Air Gases (technical, specialty, refrigerant, and TÜV-certified Green Atmospheric Gases from air separation). Group revenue is approximately €500M annually with 600+ employees across Germany, Austria, and Poland.
