Kocian Solc Balastik has advised Green Gas DPB on a set of long-term contracts for the supply and off-take of coal mine methane.

Green Gas DPB is a producer and processor of mine gas in the Czech Republic, specifically in the Ostrava-Karvina coal basin. It primarily processes coal mine methane to generate electricity in cogeneration units.

According to KSB, "coal mine methane is a mixture of gases released spontaneously in areas affected by coal mining which is extracted in a controlled manner from the underground areas of active and closed coal mines. The primary component of mine gas is methane, a greenhouse gas whose negative impact on the climate is more than 25 times greater than that of CO2."

The KSB team included Partner Tomas Sequens.

KSB did not respond to our inquiry on the matter.
