About company

The Brown Coal Research Institute (VUHU) was established in Most in 1953, as one of the first organizations focused on solving and documenting the complex issues of the development of brown coal open-pit mining in the Czech Republic.

In recent years, the company’s activities have focused on providing a comprehensive portfolio of environmental, science, engineering, laboratory and environmental services, including ecological methods of coal treatment and use, and the use of lignite combustion and desulphuration products.

Based on customer needs, our range of activities covers areas from applied research to expert design, construction and service services.
