Solid fuels boilers
Šmejkal, Petr ; Štelcl, Otakar (referee) ; Baláš, Marek (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with burning solid fuels in boilers used for house heating. In the first chapter, the individual kinds of solid fuels are described in light of their composition, properties, means of their energetical application and ways of adjusting them to a form proper for combustion. In the second chapter, the individual types of solid fuels boilers are described. The last chapter deals with comparision of several specific boilers in light of their purchase price and operating expenses.

Separation and storage of CO2
Odložilík, Martin ; Chroboczek, Libor (referee) ; Pospíšil, Jiří (advisor)
The main objective of this work is to clarify the methods for CO2 capture and storage as an option to limit global warming. The first part is further explained by a phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect, there is illustrated his principle, the effects of climate change, the main factors increasing its intensity and its possible reduction. Framework of the second part is description of the technologies and methods of CO2 capture and storage, the individual steps in these processes and also the possible development in the future. Next chapter discusses the pilot research programs and application of referred technologies to in practice. The last part of this work is devoted to the economical aspect of the problems.

The Energy dependency of world´s economic centers
Štesková, Beáta ; Vošta, Milan (advisor) ; Bič, Josef (referee)
This master's thesis aims to assess energy dependency on primary energy sources of the three main economic actors in the contemporary world scene that includes the European Union, the United States and China. Energy geopolitics gets a new face nowadays, turns upside down and the centers of world economy must face all these changes. Disparity in availability of energy sources and consumption, new drilling and manufacturing technologies, methods of extractions, new players and adopted energy policies as well as limited domestic supplies have a significant impact on the structure of the energy mix and energy (un)self-sufficiency. In the first part, the author deals with engineering and deployment of observed energy sources as well as the definition of energy dependency respectively energy security. In the next chapters, the author focuses especially on three economic centers while analyzing the nature, characteristics and trend of their production and consumption of energy as well as energy raw materials flow to these countries respectively to integrations. At the end, the author obtains by these analyses an image of energy dependency or vulnerability of these economies.

The world economic centers energy dependence
Bognárová, Eliška ; Vošta, Milan (advisor) ; Vondrušková, Barbora (referee)
Today's world needs increasing amounts of energy for satisfaction of all human needs and wants. The fundamental problem is enormous disproportion among the areas with the largest energy consumption and places with the greatest energy reserves. This thesis set out to analyze the economic vulnerability of the biggest players in the world in terms of energy self-(in)sufficiency. The main focus of this thesis is to evaluate the status and future potential on the issue of fossil fuels, especially oil, natural gas and coal in the three world centers, the U.S., the EU and China. The thesis contains information about the alternative "clean" energy sources as well. Future energy development in these countries will affect their position in the world economy and mutual relations and also impact the current balance of power of these players.

Peak oil and its impact on global economy
Hričková, Michaela ; Vošta, Milan (advisor) ; Jeníček, Vladimír (referee)
The diploma thesis focuses on world oil supply and aims to distinguish symptoms undoubtedly pointing to a possibly upcoming era of altered consumption and extraction patterns of oil products, which will be launched by "peak oil" -- a point when oil production reaches its maximum continues to decline. The thesis' objective is to analyse the probability of peak oil occurring and possible implications for world economy and selected countries. If proven true, it provides a an answer to the question whether the world economy can survive peaking without repercussions or whether it will shrink and decline into crisis. The first part defines the supply of oil and -- it's an overview of conventional and unconventional types of oil, petroleum products, oil fields, extraction techniques, energy effectiveness and substitutes. Furthermore, it defines "peak oil", it clarifies its history, strives to determine its possible date and compares it with the current oil situation. The second part surveys general implications of peak oil for world economics and politics -- it observes an unsatisfied oil demand, impact on the outputs of economies and the role of oil in economic crises. The political part follows with possible changes in the field of international politics. Lastly it tries to determine the effect on American suburbia. The third and final part is dedicated to selected countries, which are either important exporters or importers.

Power Engineering in the EU and Development Prospects
Kučerová, Monika ; Kašpar, Václav (advisor) ; Vošta, Milan (referee)
This thesis deals with power engineering in the EU and aims to analyze energy resources and their characteristics, assess the current situation in the energy sector in the EU as a whole and in selected member states and outline possible future developments. The thesis studies problems that the EU must face in the field of power engineering too. The aim is also to point out new possibilities in power engineering, which are possible thanks to the progress in science and research.

Energetics in the EU: Present Trends
Procházková, Lenka ; Vošta, Milan (advisor) ; Kašpar, Václav (referee)
The first chapter of the diploma thesis describes Energy policy of the European Union, especially its development, present state and its goals. This chapter also contains information about development of the single energy market. The second part of the thesis analyses oil and natural gas import dependence of the whole European Union and its Member States as well. It shows its rate and also the structure of suppliers, moreover, it describes total production, consumption and reserves of these fosil fuels. The third chapter outlines the ways how to reduce the import dependence. The last part familiarises readers with the main initiatives of the European Union in the field of environmental protection.

The Role of the Liquefied Natural Gas in the World Economy
Hričková, Michaela ; Kašpar, Václav (advisor) ; Vošta, Milan (referee)
The Bachelor thesis' focus is on the role and importance of the liquefied natural gas as a tradable commodity and a way of transporting natural gas. The first part of the thesis contains an analysis of the current state of the world natural gas market including factors influencing said market and the pattern of localisation of natural gas fields in the world. The second part deals with the specific features of LNG and its production and transportation issues. The last part analyses the position of LNG in the world energy mix and the localisation of exporting and importing LNG facilities around the world.

Renewable energy resources in CR
Horáček, Vilém ; Dvořák, Antonín (advisor) ; Fišerová, Alena (referee)
Tato bakalářská práce se zabývá situací v oblasti obnovitelných zdrojů energie (OZE) v ČR. Popisuje současný stav využívání obnovitelných zdrojů a situaci v oblasti legislativy. Dále obsahuje popis, výhody a nevýhody využívání jednotlivých OZE. Hlavním cílem bakalářské práce je zhodnotit, zda se v podmínkách České republiky vyplatí investovat do obnovitelných zdrojů energie. Samostatná část je zaměřená na malé vodní elektrárny (MVE) a obsahuje příklady konkrétních projektů MVE. V závěru práce je uveden výpočet efektivity konkrétního projektu MVE pomocí základních ekonomických ukazatelů.
