The environmental technology industry has been growing in the Czech Republic for a long time, offering numerous opportunities for Czech industry. Many companies operate in these sectors both domestically and globally, providing innovative solutions.
In the field of renewable energy, Czech companies develop and implement technologies for efficient energy production, including solar, wind, and hydrogen technologies. TEDOM specializes in manufacturing cogeneration units that run on natural gas, LPG, and biogas. FARMTEC and MEZ focus on biogas plant technologies, while CINK Hydro-Energy and Mavel provide equipment for hydroelectric power plants.
Additionally, companies such as SIAG CZ and Wikov are involved in wind energy by machining components for wind farms and manufacturing towers for wind turbines. Smart Heating Technology produces fully automated biomass boilers, while Step TRUTNOV specializes in straw-fired boilers. The Association of Industrial Plants Suppliers (SDIC) and other organizations also play a key role in this sector.
Czech companies have extensive experience in optimizing energy systems and developing electrolyzers, pressure vessels, and other essential components for hydrogen infrastructure. Hydrogen transportation in gaseous form is supported by Vítkovice Cylinders, which specializes in the development of pressure cylinders as well as stationary and transport tanks across all categories. Škoda Electric demonstrated the use of hydrogen in transportation by developing a functional hydrogen bus prototype in 2010.
Currently, the production of grey hydrogen in the Czech Republic is mainly concentrated in the chemical industry, with Orlen Unipetrol in Litvínov and Spolchemie in Ústí nad Labem leading this sector.
Water purity is a crucial topic, and many Czech companies offer advanced water treatment technologies. Examples include ASIO, EKONA, and ENVI-PUR. The Czech Water Alliance unites Czech companies specializing in the export of water management services and technologies.
The waste processing, recycling, and sustainability sector holds significant potential, with Czech companies providing professional expertise, technological solutions, and consulting services. Green Future and ENRESS focus on plastic recycling technologies. DECONTA and GEOtest offer comprehensive environmental services, including contaminated site investigation and remediation, waste management, wastewater treatment and environmental consulting.
