Energy policy for Germany: the impact of European energy policy strategy
Šátek, Lukáš ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Vošta, Milan (referee)
The aim of my thesis is to analyze the energy policy in Germany and its future development. There are many external and internal factors influencing the way how the energy policy is going to evolve. One of these factors is the common European energy policy. In order to cover its energy demand, EU is forced to establish a comprehensive energy policy on the European level. The increasing pressure caused by the combination of external and internal factors calls for better cooperation on this field. The key element of the future energy policy in EU will be the renewable sources of energy.

Selected Aspects of the European Union's Energy Policy
Hylmarová, Šárka ; Němcová, Ingeborg (advisor) ; Horák, Jiří (referee)
The thesis is concerned with the stability of the energy market with oil and gas in the European Union. It first characterizes the development of energy policy. The next part specifies two essential types of primary energy -- petroleum and natural gas. This chapter deals with the measurement, mining and also describes the proved world reserves that influence the delivery of these energies into the European Union. The following chapter deals with the stability of the internal market for oil and natural gas. It describes the stability of demand for this kind of energy, the stability of supply and the stability of prices. The final section outlines some of the ways, in which the European Union seeks to enhance the stability. One of the ways is maintaining and deepening relationships with external suppliers and other major energy consumers. Another way to encourage energy stability is to increase the efficiency of energy use, which leads among others to a reduction of the European dependence on supplies and it also lower resource depletion.

2008 Russian-Georgian conflict and energy security
Stárek, Václav ; Cibulková, Petra (advisor) ; Dubský, Zbyněk (referee)
The submitted text pursues the string of rather complex events called the Russian-Georgian conflict of August 2008 with attempt to satisfactorily address two separate aspects. First, it summarises the conclusions of the fact-finding mission set up by the European Commission in December of th same year. The purpose of this chapter lies in both acquainting readers with the substantial findings compiled by the delegated team of experts and disclosing the consequences stemming from their final report with regard to energy sector. Second, thesis assesses the nature of motives, which led two major rivals, i.e. Georgia and Russian Federation, into deteriorating the situation towards open violence. The analysis derives from information promulgated in the final report of the above-mentioned mission as well as official documents specifying the national energy strategies of respective countries. The main intent of this section aims at clarifying whether and to what extent both parties engaged in the military conflict did pursued their own energy policies.

The Energy policy of the Russian Federation: Present State and Prospects
Kučera, Jakub ; Lupták, Milan (advisor) ; Lisa, Aleš (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the energy policy of the Russian Federation in the period from 2000 to 2008 and its prospects until 2030. First of all, I analyse particular targets of the energy policy of Russia and put them in a broader framework. Consequently, I focus my attention on three economic targets that need to be met if Russia is to become an "energetic superpower". Firstly, I search for the answer to the question whether Russia has enough oil and gas for foreigner markets and whether it can provide for their export in order to be able to act successfully as an "energetic superpower". Secondly, whether Russia will succeed when exporting oil and natural gas to world markets and whether it will manage to diversify transport routes for its exports. Thirdly, whether the effort to "make the economy move" supported by raw-material exports has been successful and whether this situation can continue. The thesis further follows each answer to these questions in two dimensions of time. A hindsight shall first clarify how successful the energy policy of Russia was when meeting these targets until 2008, or what problems Russia had to face while trying to meet them. In consequence, this provides a basis for a foresight.

The analysis of the development of electricity production which is made from renewable sources in the Czech Republic in comparison with the most advanced states of European Union.
Neradová, Veronika ; Zeman, Karel (advisor) ; Ryvolová, Ivana (referee)
This bachelor work shall see into the analysis of the development of electricity production which is made from renewable sources in the Czech Republic in comparison with the most advanced states of European Union. This is a very actual topic, the European Union supports higher using of renewable resources and every individual member state must comply with limits which are predetermined. On the other hand, increasing of some kinds of renewable resources threatens the stability of the transmission system. In the theoretical part there is the definition of the economic policy, how it was developed and which main approaches exist nowadays. There is also described the energy policy of European Union and specifications of energy recourses which are classified as renewable. The analytical part deals with energy policy of renewable sources in the Czech Republic. Then there is an analysis of development of electricity production in the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria and Sweden. The energy policy is definite for each state which is applied for promoting renewable sources. The aim of this work is analytical comparison of electricity production of renewable sources in the Czech Republic and the most advanced states of the European Union.

Approaches of energy policy implementations between the European Union and the United States
Willi, Tomáš ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Sudliankou, Aliaksandr (referee)
The aim of my bachelor thesis is to compare approaches of energy policy implementations between the European Union and the United States. The thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter deals with the energy balance of both centers, with focus on the most significant factors influencing the energy policy making: composition, availability and supply of energy sources. In second and third part the analysis of energy and environmental policies of the United States and the European Union is given. The main objective of these two chapters is to examine the energy-policy priorities, energy legislation, the division of powers between the centre and states, as well as energy-policy instruments. In the last chapter approaches to the implementation of energy policies of both centers are compared. Here the focus is put on four main areas arising from the previous three chapters: primary energy sources and energetic mix, the degree of centralization, instruments of energy policy and promotion of the renewable energy sources.
