SBB Energy

What SBB Energy does

SBB Energy S.A. is a Polish engineering general contractor founded in 1992 and headquartered in Opole, with a technology office in Gliwice. The company delivers construction, modernization, and commissioning services for energy utilities, combined heat and power (CHP) plants, refineries, and heavy industrial facilities, primarily in Poland with project-level international reach into Czech Republic, Germany, the UK, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Turkey, China, Kosovo, and Finland. SBB Energy serves blue-chip enterprise clients including PGE GiEK, ORLEN, TAURON, CEZ, EDF, KOGENERACJA, Grupa Azoty, SYNTHOS, BASF, Volkswagen, and Unipetrol.

The company's portfolio spans four technology pillars: gas power generation (gas boiler houses and gas-piston cogeneration), conventional power generation (flue gas cleaning — desulfurization, denitrification, dust removal, mercury capture — plus boiler retrofits for biomass co-firing and gas conversion), renewable and hybrid power generation (battery energy storage integrated with PV farms and thermal energy storage), and biomass/RDF/waste-to-energy plants. Proprietary differentiators include a hybrid denitrification system using catalytic inserts in regenerative rotary air heaters (achieving NOx below 150 mg/Nm3) and a hybrid mercury adsorption system combining sorbent injection, fuel additives, and polymeric membrane modules. SBB Energy also operates in green hydrogen (production, storage, processing) and has built publicly accessible hydrogen refueling stations for ORLEN.

Commercially, SBB Energy operates as a B2B general contractor via direct enterprise sales and project bidding, with revenues generated primarily through professional services — general contracting, construction and erection, commissioning, and R&D services. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed. R&D is partially funded through European Regional Development Fund grants under regional and national operational programmes, with approximately PLN 8.5M of EU co-financing across two disclosed projects (hybrid denitrification and HYBREM mercury reduction).

Core offering

SBB Energy S.A. is a Polish engineering and general contracting firm that delivers construction, modernization, and commissioning services for power plants and industrial facilities. Its portfolio spans four technology areas — gas power generation, conventional power generation (including flue gas cleaning), renewable and hybrid power generation, and biomass/RDF/incinerators — supplemented by general contracting, mechanical erection, electrical and I&C installation, commissioning, and hydrogen project execution.

Product overview

SBB Energy S.A. is a Polish energy and industrial sector engineering company offering comprehensive solutions through multiple integrated service areas. The portfolio includes four core technology areas: Gas Power Generation (gas boiler houses, cogeneration systems), Conventional Power Generation (flue gas cleaning, boiler modernization), Renewable and Hybrid Power Generation (battery storage, PV integration), and Biomass/Incineration (RDF facilities, waste-to-energy). The company operates as a general contractor providing full project execution, supplemented by specialized services in commissioning, electrical/I&C installation, mechanical erection, and hydrogen technologies. The offering is structured as a portfolio of interconnected service capabilities rather than a unified software platform, with projects spanning across power generation, industrial facilities, and environmental protection systems.
