Global Trends and their New Regional Challenges for Wind Energy Development on Example of Mexico
Cetkovský, Stanislav
Presented contribution gives an overview about recent trends in the wind energy development. For traditional countries with a b ig install capacity in wind energy, e.g. Europe, USA, China is typical nowadays limited opportunity for next wind energy investment, which is the reason why many investors and energy utilities are looking for new markets. Mexico seems to be a region with a great potential. Wind energy development could bring an opportunity for peripheral regions. It is no more valid that investment to wind energy is dependent on feed - in tariffs

Divergent Trends in Agriculture and in Sector of Anaerobic Digestion Plants in the Czech Republic: Opportunity or Threat?
Dvořák, Petr ; Martinát, Stanislav ; Klusáček, Petr ; Van der Horst, D. ; Navrátil, J. ; Kulla, M.
Renewable sources of energies and its support have been recently experiencing wide public debate in the Czech Republic that varies from agreement to complete denial. Nevertheless support from national and EU sources is factor that heavily influenced dynamic development of this sector in last decade. Anaerobic digestion plants are one of options for production of renewable energies that have experienced next to solar pl ants the most important increase of its installed capacities. This contribution aim to firstly analyse phenomenon of anaerobic digestion plants, its legal, strategic support, supporting financial incentives, individual types of such plants and secondly bas ed on available statistical data analyse spatial distribution of agricultural anaerobic digestion plants. On basis of comparison of data for increasing biogas production and declining agriculture in regions of the Czech Republic basic consequence are deduc ed. In context of spatial distribution of agricultural anaerobic digestion plants structures of sowing areas and intensities of animal husbandry are shortly discussed.

Anaerobic Digestion Plants in Rural Space: Some Comments on their Acceptance at Community Level
Martinát, S. ; Melníková, V. ; Dvořák, Petr ; Klusáček, P. ; Navrátil, J. ; Van der Horst, D.
mportance of energy generated from renewable sources has been recently constantly increasing. One of sectors where huge development has been experienced is anaerobic digestion plants sector (biogas stations). Its number and installed capacities have dramatically risen in last decade in the Czech Republic (11 installations with 4,19 MW in 2002, 481 installations with 48 1 MW in 2013). There is no doubt that operation of anaerobic digestion plants, alike other types of renewable sources of energy (wind power plants, solar power plants etc.), yields as alternative to non - renewable fossil sources plenty of positives. However problems are linked to renewable energy projects too. Such problems are connected to its location, realisation and operation of such facilities that might have important impact on both quality of life, landscape character and spatial relations within muni cipality. This contribution deals with socio - spatial aspects of renewable sources of energy with focus on anaerobic digestion plants and their acceptance by population on local level.

Re-Use of Brownfields for Development of Solar Energy in the Czech Republic (Current State from Investors Perspective)
Klusáček, Petr ; Martinát, Stanislav ; Dvořák, Petr
ities were conducted in 2012 by means of semi - structured interviews with representatives of companies, which successfully implemented this kind of energetic project on the territory of the Czech Republic. The survey identified that the investors did not re ceived any special state help, subsidies or incentives and that they had to manage the different administrative obstacles created by representatives of the public administration institution, which did not differentiate between solar power plant on brownfields and greenfields. The investors were especially motivated by individual characters of selected brownfields for this kind of projects and in some cases by policies of their companies on creation of the environmentally-friendly image. The contribution concludes with some recommendation how to improve the situation of the studied issue.
