EU's dependence on Russian natural gas supply
Klouda, Petr ; Vošta, Milan (advisor) ; Procházková Ilinitchi, Cristina (referee)
This paper is dealing with the issue of EU's dependence on the natural gas supply from Russia. The main focus is on different aspects of energy security as stocks capacity, diversification of sources or stability of supplies. But the primary focus remains the supplies dependence. Taking in consideration big differences between EU states and between natural gas supplies dependence on Russia this paper took three different points of view from three different groups of states. Which means that the natural gas's business relationship between EU and Russia is viewed from the point of view of states that have free access to supplies of natural gas from another sources or do not import natural gas from Russia at all and also from the point of view of states that rely on Russian supplies for 100 % of their yearly domestic consumption. Those different perspectives are then put into context with energy security of the whole EU. Last but not least this paper is focused on alternative ways of natural gas supply and on the way how could EU actually improve its energy security in this matter.
Renewable resources of energy and their use in the Czech Republic
Kohútová, Alena ; Vošta, Milan (advisor) ; Antal, Jarolím (referee)
This diploma thesis is concerned with renewable resources of energy and their use in the Czech Republic. The first charter includes not only basic terms that will be used during whole the thesis but also a short description of non-renewable sources and detailed description of renewable resources of energy. The second chapter informs about the energy industry and it concentrates on the production of electricity and heat by renewable resources. Moreover, this chapter introduces install energy output of renewable resources in the Czech Republic. Third chapter is dedicated to financial aid heading towards renewable resources of energy in the Czech Republic and finally fourth chapter contains the case study, which is focused on the efficiency of investment payback of solar system installed on the roof of family house for gaining electricity. In the case study there is a comparison of several solar panels made by different producers and it is also compared the efficiency of investment payback for each solar panel. The case study is carrying out using method of collecting information followed by several calculations. The result of the diploma thesis is finding that the financial support for using renewable resources is adequate. Furthermore, the second finding is that investment to installation of the solar system to the roof of the family house is efficient in case of obtaining the financial aid.
Energy security perspectives of the European Union
Petříček, Tomáš ; Kučerová, Irah (advisor) ; Karásek, Tomáš (referee) ; Vošta, Milan (referee)
The main aim of the PhD thesis Perspektivy evropské energetické bezpečnosti v kontextu vývoje energetické politiky EU is to complement existing body of literature concerning with the evolution and characteristics of European energy policy. It attempts to add new dimension related to the influence of ideational and discursive factors on this policy. In order to explain the role of discourse in shaping the European energy policy into its current form, which is characterized by its segmentation into three distinct pillars - competitiveness, sustainability and security, the thesis applies the theoretical and analytical framework of discursive institutionalism. The thesis identifies an internal tension between component discourses, which prioritize different cognitive and normative ideas, to be one of the causes of incoherence and fragmentation of contemporary energy policy of the European Union. The main argument of this text is that three distinct discursive lines has been developed at the European level - liberalization-market, environmental and security lines. Nonetheless, these discourses are rather separate phenomena as they provide ideational frameworks often incompatible with each other due to the non-existent unifying elements. Building on different and often contradicting philosophical and...
The influence of new natural gas sources on energy security in the USA
Vránková, Jana ; Neumann, Pavel (advisor) ; Vošta, Milan (referee) ; Baláž, Peter (referee) ; Pospíšil, Jiří (referee)
The thesis focuses on the influence of new natural gas sources on energy security in the USA. The new sources include mainly shale gas, but also tight gas and others. The main objective of the thesis is to evaluate the impact of changes in production and trade in gas on energy security and self-sufficiency of the USA. The thesis is divided into five chapters. The first chapter is theoretic and thus provides the frameworks for the following parts of the thesis. It focuses on the security concept in literature and in the papers of international energy agencies, e.g. IEA. For the purposes of the thesis, energy security is defined as the ability of a state to secure uninterrupted and stable supply of energy at a reasonable price of sufficiently diversified energy sources, which can be flexibly substituted among each other without additional costs by the end consumers. The second chapter concentrates on energy security in the USA, the development of energy legislation and the position of the United States in international comparison from this point of view. The third chapter deals with the technical background of production and its legislative status of the USA. To compare, it also addresses the production legislation in some EU countries. It follows up market implications of increased domestic production, specifically its profitability, changes in energy mix and in trading position of the USA in energy sources. The fourth chapter analyzes price impacts using change in domestic and foreign demand and supply in natural gas, including their price elasticity, and the price development itself. The fifth chapter summarizes, based on the findings from previous chapters, perspectives of the future development, mainly impacts on economy and potential export. The thesis comes to the main conclusion stating that the production from domestic sources shall have a positive impact on energy security not only in the USA, but also consecutively in other countries dependent on import of energy sources through higher diversification of source countries. Better available commodity may contribute to greater price competitiveness of domestic products on international markets and help to substitute coal with gas in energy mix. The biggest risk is seen in the low gas price that makes the production economically unprofitable. However, the gas price should maintain the level which would allow for profit of the producers, reasonable price for the consumers and increased level of energy security thanks to further development of the production technology, its better price availability and increased demand on cleaner energy sources.

The strategic importance of Serbia to the European Union
Janković, Vukica ; Vošta, Milan (advisor) ; Karpová, Eva (referee) ; Němcová, Ingeborg (referee) ; Kazanský, Rastislav (referee)
Doctoral dissertation presents an analysis of the Serbian economy in the mutual relations between the European Union (EU) and the Western Balkans. The assumption that the EU and Serbia, as an integral part of the Balkan region, have interests in the partnership and cooperation is the baseline of the research. The following aspects have been singled out, by method of ranking, which is based on achieving the highest turnover in the last six years: trade, foreign direct investment and energy. Gravity model was used to analyze routes of trade and energy. A models of trade import and export between Serbia and the EU 28 member countries and the countries of the Western Balkans, as well as models of imports and exports of energy between Serbia and the EU 28 member countries and the countries of the Western Balkans, were used in order to assess the potential of trade and energy trade. Method of trend line and trend extrapolation of foreign direct investment (FDI) was used in order to determine the degree of the presence of FDI in Serbia and their predictions, which could be an indicator of investment climate in Serbia. The conclusion is that Serbia has strategic importance as a candidate for membership in the EU because of its regional importance. Entering the Western Balkan countries in the EU should not happen without Serbia, because Serbia has a regional importance, which arise from the economic, historical, cultural, infrastructural and geopolitical links with countries in the region, of which some are already members of the EU.
