Cost-effectivenes analysis of achieving energy savings in OPPI subsidy program in SME and big corporations
Malcánek, Jan ; Macháč, Jan (advisor) ; Babin, Jan (referee)
A high consumption of energy worldwide and a high environmental burden is a burning problem today. The Energy Union is one of the policies aimed at fighting this high energy consumption in the European Union and its dependence on energy supplies from outside the E.U. Its goal is to decrease energy consumption in the member states of the European Union and stop energy supplies from outside the E.U. Within the Energy Union, whose member is also the Czech Republic, the OPPI subsidy program was created, whose goal is to achieve the objectives of the Energy Union. This program started in 2007 in all regions of the Czech Republic except Prague and was terminated in 2015 when all the statistical data was collected. This data was used in this Bachelor's thesis to create a model which evaluates all the aspects of this subsidy program and his effectiveness. The hypothesis regarding cost effectiveness reaching energy savings with a different rate of subsidizing small and medium enterprises on the one hand, and big corporations on the other is accepted, and additional recommendations for better targeting in future subsidy programs are added. These recommendations are based on collected statistical data confirming that the effectiveness of drawing subsidies is influenced by three aspects: the region, company size, and the particular call for a subsidy program.

Economy of fast-growing woody species
Levý, Lukáš ; Veber, Jaromír (advisor) ; Gaspár, Ladislav (referee)
The thesis is focused on analyzing and evaluation of importance and potential of fast-growing woody species for specifics of Czech economy and local conditions. Thesis will inquire into applicability of each fast-growing species for Czech natural conditions. Further I will investigate opportunities of subvention from public authorities. Next part of thesis will be focused on all activities and processes during cultivation of fast-growing species from acquiring land to processing of wooden mass. For each activity will quantify costs of labor and physical capital during cultivation of fast-growing woody species for different subjects in Czech economy, like household owning a soil or company with unused outside areas. Thesis will be comparing possible energetic savings of profits for a number of alternatives with different energy prices development in ongoing years. Practical output of this thesis should not be only the compilation of all these information into one text, but above all also a complex formula which everyone can use for the calculation of his opportunities for cultivating of fast-growing woody species.
