The DBI-Group
The DBI-group serves the entire gas supply value chain, from extraction to storage, network transportation and the efficient, environmentally friendly use of renewable energy sources. The DBI Gas- und Umwelttechnik GmbH combines both the development of new technologies for the use of renewable gaseous energy sources and the introduction of innovative technologies into practice. The subsidiary, DBI – Gastechnologisches Institut gGmbH Freiberg, conducts research into fundamental issues.
Our departments
Gas Production & Gas Storage
In the department Gas Production and Gas Storage we research and develop solutions for the production and storage of oil, gas and geothermal energy sources. The objectives are technologies for the cost-effective balancing of gas demand fluctuations, for the increased environmentally friendly use of wind and solar power through H2 underground storage and for the climate-neutral use of fossil fuels through CO2 underground storage.
Gas Grids & Gas Facilities
The department Gas Grids and Gas Facilities deals with the safe and efficient transportation and distribution of gases such as natural gas, biogas, hydrogen and carbon dioxide. We use new findings and our many years of experience in the planning and modeling of gas networks and gas plants for site selection and evaluation as well as for the engineering of innovative technologies, e.g. for power-to-gas plants or smart systems in gas supply.
Gas Utilization
The department Gas Utilization deals with all aspects of customer-side energy and heat supply, from gas installation to a wide range of domestic, commercial and industrial applications. From basic research into the fuel flexibility of various combustion systems in our own technical centre to the optimization of energy-intensive processes.
Gas Processing Technology
How can we transfer innovative technologies in the fields of hydrogen production and synthesis? This topic is the main focus of the department Gas Processing Technology. This includes feasibility studies, experimental investigations and process developments as well as engineering for the realization of process plants on a container scale.
Gas Chemistry & Gas Treatment
The challenge facing the gas industry is to reconcile the increasing quality requirements of end customers with changing gas qualities. Our department Gas Chemistry & Gas Treatment accompanies this process analytically from the source to the end customer. As an accredited gas chemistry laboratory, we are the point of contact and partner for the transfer of new developments to the gas supply.
Energy Supply Systems
Due to the wide range of options for generating and using electricity and heat, it is therefore becoming increasingly important to take local conditions into account and develop specific solutions. As a company with decades of experience, we are actively involved in this process.
DVGW – Test Laboratory Energy
As an internationally recognized testing laboratory, we have extensive expertise in carrying out type tests in various areas in accordance with the applicable national and international standards. Using state-of-the-art measurement technology and testing equipment, we carry out type tests on typical domestic appliances for our customers.
Technical Services & Developments
The department Technical Services and Development builds a bridge between research and development topics and testing expertise in the gas sector. Within the department, existing test methods are developed further or new methods are established.
Trainings Centre Gas
For many years, we have been offering a practice-oriented training program for energy suppliers, civil engineering companies and emergency services on the safe handling of flammable gases. Our training courses are the basis for successful safety management in the energy sector and provide invaluable experience.
