Economic aspects of potential changes of Russian natural gas supply routes to the European Union
Holanová, Tereza ; Němcová, Ingeborg (advisor) ; Horák, Jiří (referee)
Natural gas plays a significant role in Europe's energy consumption. Nine EU countries are net importers of gas, six states buy the commodity from a single supplier. Some EU member states experienced how complicated can a shortage of natural gas be in 2006, 2007 and especially in January 2009 when supplies from Russia were interrupted. As a consequence the European Union began to talk about diversification. There are several scenarios how to increase energy security of the EU. My thesis deals with these scenarios in terms of their price, additional cost and probability.

Existence of vertically integrated companies limits proper functioning of the single electricity market, therefore the EU supports liberalization process aiming to create competitiveness in electroenergetic area. This would enhance safety and reliability of distribution and consequently it would lead to higher efficiency in electrical production and consumption, lower prices for end-users and sustainable development with respect to environment. One of the main instruments in the liberalization process is proprietary separation of electricity production and distribution, i.e. unbundling.

Approaches to ensuring energy security in the EU and the USA
Kopová, Petra ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Horák, Jiří (referee)
The need to ensure that reliable, affordable and sustainable energy is a clear priority in building a powerful and strong economy. Therefore energy security has gradually become an integral part of the economic and foreign policies of the European Union and the United States of America. Although this concept did not exist ten years ago, energy security has rapidly risen in importance in the last decade. Both the USA and the EU have implemented energy issues as one of the pillars of their national security. The first chapter of this paper addresses the definition of energy security and characterizes its particular subsystems. The second part is devoted to real security in terms of the first and the second subsystem (the securing of energy resources, and the transport and transformation of energy resources). The final chapter briefly defines the energy policies of the European Union and the United States and compares approaches to ensuring the energy security of both regions. The main objective of this bachelor thesis is to identify and clarify the similarities or potential differences between these two approaches.
