Green Gas DPB

What Green Gas DPB does

Green Gas DPB, a.s. is a private Czech joint-stock company headquartered in Paskov (Moravian-Silesian Region) that has operated for over 60 years as a vertically integrated regional energy and specialized engineering services provider. The company extracts and processes coal mine methane (důlní plyn) and carboniferous gas (karbonský plyn) from the Ostrava-Karviná mining district, supplies nitrogen for mine safety, and operates 15 cogeneration units producing electricity and heat with up to 90% fuel utilization efficiency across the region. Beyond energy, it runs a comprehensive drilling services operation — both surface and underground — capable of boreholes up to 1 km depth and 419 mm diameter, plus an in-house mechanical engineering workshop that manufactures certified drilling rigs (GG-1 and the RVS series, 200+ units produced to date) and custom steel structures. The company also operates the Seismic Information System, a unique 32-station network monitoring mining-induced seismicity 24/7, and provides accredited engineering services including atmogeochemical surveys (ČSN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 accredited lab), ground-penetrating radar surveys, hydrogeological modeling using FEFLOW software, turn-key drilled wells, and heat-loss measurements.

The business serves a diversified mix of customers anchored by mining operator OKD, a.s. (a strategic partner for mine gas extraction, seismic monitoring, and nitrogen supply), with additional enterprise clients in construction and remediation (ČSOB, GEOtest, GEOSAN GROUP, DEKONTA, BauGeo, GEROtop, PG Silesia, Spolana), municipal government (Magistrát města Ostravy), academia (VŠB-TUO), and individual homeowners seeking water wells and geothermal heating solutions. The company employs 251–500 people and operates additional sites in Sviadnov (industrial manufacturing and the Green Energy Park brownfield development) and Vrbice (heritage mining site). Revenue is generated through a combination of utility supply (gas, electricity, heat), project-based drilling and engineering services priced individually per project, and manufactured equipment sales, with distribution via direct enterprise sales, regional field presence, industry trade shows (Infotherma, EXPO Katowice), and a tri-lingual digital presence (Czech, English, Polish). The company holds ISO 9001/14001/45001 certifications, participates in international research consortia (METHENERGY PLUS, GeoUS with University of Vaasa and Fraunhofer IWU), and maintains Expert Organization status under Czech Act 254/2019 Sb.
