The dependence of Chinese and Indian economy on mineral and energy imports
Bayerová, Zuzana ; Kašpar, Václav (advisor) ; Vošta, Milan (referee)
The aim of the diploma thesis is to analyze People's Republic of China and India from the point of view of their mineral and energy dependence, where mineral means the necessity to import raw materials for the industry, while energy corresponds to imports of energy resources, namely coal, oil and natural gas. The secondary aim is so called 3C-Analysis (Comparison, Competition, Cooperation), which compares these two economies and evaluates their mutual relationships. The thesis is divided into three main parts - China, India, 3C-Analysis. The subchapters focuse on partial analysis, which are the definition of strategic minerals based on the key industrial branches, the determination of causes of mineral resources dependence and problems outcoming from current structure of energy imports, as well as the analysis and evaluation of the steps leading to the dependence elimination. The text also contains information about the situation in industrial and energy sector of both countries and basic data of raw materials production, reserves, consumption and imports.

Energy policy of the EU - Nuclear power in Europe
Kovácsik, Miroslav ; Žamberský, Pavel (advisor) ; Vošta, Milan (referee)
The events of the recent past in the energy department in Europe have shown how big is it's dependency on import of the primary energy resources. In the long run it is obvious that a high dependency on import of resources with the increasing demand of the population will not be able to provide Europe with so much needed easy accessible and reasonably priced energy. The integration process in Europe lasts more than fifty years now but energy policy is even after the ratification of the Lisbon treaty in controll of the national parlaments of member countries. Even though the options and posibilitie of the countries differ in the long run a closer cooperation is mandatory. The thesis is about the united energy policy in Europe and the development it went through since the beginning of the integration process in the fifties of last century. I will describe the main events that formed it as well as the main resources of energy production in the EU. I will explain the term energy security and in the end I will write about nuclear power that is today a vary efficient but after the events of Fukushima also controversial alternative of energy independence.

Energy EU-Russia relationship in the background of interest of central european countries
Bernat, Jakub ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Abrhám, Josef (referee)
Energy resources mean an important aspect of GDP of the Russian Federation. Most of these strategic commodities consumed in the EU have originated in Russia. The aim of the thesis is to assess the mutual relations between the EU and Russia in terms of energy trading with important raw materials with focus on Central Europe. The first chapter deals with various energy sources and their importance for the EU and thenthrough a common EU energy policy. The middle section is devoted to EU-Russia relations in energy and pipelines connecting both sides. The final section assesses the Union from the perspective of energy security and provides other alternatives forenergy production.

Energetická politika EU - současnost a výhled
Pospíšilová, Zuzana ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Horák, Jiří (referee)
The first chapter is dealing with the question, what is the contemporary condition of the European governance of the energy sector and what are the causes of the current situation. A comparison with the USA and China can be found here, too. In the second part, there is a decription of the current and future role of the European Union concerning the energy sources, in particular concerning coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear energy, renewables and energy efficiency as well. The last chapter analyses the tendencies of the European Union energy politics and the outlook. The main topics are energy security, the environment and the internal market with electricity and natural gas.

Trends and contexts of development of the energy sector
Novotná, Petra ; Czesaný, Slavoj (advisor) ; Munzi, Tomáš (referee)
The world is nowadays dependent on energies, which become scarcer and scarcer. Petroleum reserves are shrinking and it is necessary to find new suitable substitutes. Energy consumption is increasing and energy crises are threatening the whole world. This caused price increased of all energies. Prices and consumption can decrease because of economic crisis, however when recession is over prices of energies are likely to grow again. Economic crisis can cause energy sources are predominantly located in politically unstable countries and other countries are dependent on them. National strategies on energy sector are therefore crucial. The Czech Republic with other countries consumes more energy than actually needed. Savings on energies are becoming more important. The production and consumption of energies have harmful by-products polluting the environment which is not desirable. Renewable resources are much less harmful to the environment but their consumption is still limited. Big potential could be also in nuclear energy and coal power plants with new technologies. The goal of this paper is to analyse individual indicators of energy sector of the Czech Republic and compare it internationally, set the strengths and weaknesses of this sector.

Efficiency in the use of photovoltaic cells for energy production
Maršíková, Michaela ; Dvořák, Antonín (advisor) ; Hadrabová, Alena (referee)
Master's Thesis considers the idea of use of renewable energy sources for the generation of electricity. On the basis of reports on climate warming, the European Union took measures, which are mandatory for all Member States and aimed to increase the share of renewable energy in total energy production by 2010. Czech Republic has committed itself to produce 8% of energy from renewable energy sources, the government has created a system of subsidies to renewable energy sources and a system of redemption prices. These measures make energy very expensive. This work deals with the origin of these measures, which are reports on global warming. My work is also comparing predictions on the future status, as well as examining the advantages of investing in renewable energy sources and comparing the prices of subsidized energy with other types of energy.

state energy conceptions
Stecenková, Marina ; Antoš, Ondřej (advisor) ; Loužek, Marek (referee)
This study deals with situation on energy market of the Czech Republic in aggregate view. There is a common trend of growing dependence on imported energy base materilas into Czech Republic and their growing prices and on the other hand growth of the energy consumption. The study reports historical evolution and trends upon a Czech energy sector after 1990 in wider contaxt including liberalisation of the market for consumers. The selected state instruments, such as state energy conceptions, EU structural funds subventions, renewables legislation and role of the energy savings viewed by state, are analyzed.

Energy policy of the European Union
Hasmanová, Věra ; Němcová, Ingeborg (advisor) ; Jiránková, Martina (referee)
Práce analyzuje faktory ovlivňující hlubší spolupráci států EU v sektoru energetiky a možnost vytvoření společné energetické politiky. Zaměřuje se na hlavní překážky větší integrace v tomto sektoru, především na problematiku strategičnosti odvětví, jaderné energie, národní rozdíly mezi státy a rozdílné postoje členských států k hlavním dodavatelům energií do EU. Rozebírá energetické politiky vybraných členských států a hodnotí současné strategie EU, které mají vést k vytvoření hlubší spolupráce. Poukazuje na energetickou bezpečnost jednotlivých států i EU jako celku a s tím související rostoucí závislost na dovozech energií.
