The Slovak republic and assurance of energy security
Auxtová, Ľubica ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Horák, Jiří (referee)
The issue of energy security is becoming increasingly discussed topic. Secure and continuous supplies of energy resources are in the interest of every country. This bachelor thesis concerns about energy situation of Slovak Republic as of the member of European Union. The first chapter describes current fuel-energy balance of Slovakia, state of national resources and strategic energy resources supplies and brings up the question of saving in still energetically highly demanding Slovak economy. The second chapter deals with European energy policy and it's context for Slovak politics and briefly describes important adopted documents. The thesis is terminated by the analysis of Slovak energy policy - a country with exclusive supplier of fosil fuels and indicates perspectives and reccomendations into the near future.

EU Energy Policy - Selected Problems of Electricity Market
Zezula, Michal ; Němcová, Ingeborg (advisor) ; Horák, Jiří (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with selected problems of the electricity market in the European Union. Existence of vertically integrated companies limits proper functioning of the single electricity market, therefore the EU supports liberalization process aiming to create competitiveness in electroenergetic area. This would enhance safety and reliability of distribution and consequently it would lead to higher efficiency in electrical production and consumption, lower prices for end-users and sustainable development with respect to environment. One of the main instruments in the liberalization process is proprietary separation of electricity production and distribution, i.e. unbundling. This thesis explains the current performance of the electricity market and evaluates changes that could be reached by liberalization process.

Development of EU's energy dependence
Glockner, Martin ; Vondrušková, Barbora (advisor) ; Bič, Josef (referee)
There is a huge disproportion, in the world we know today, in terms of geographical distribution between the mining sites and the location of final consumption of energy resources. The aim of this thesis is to analyze this imbalance, to quantify the dependence of the EU region and to analyze European energy policy, its conception, evolution and transformation.

Approaches to ensuring energy security in the EU and the USA
Kopová, Petra ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Horák, Jiří (referee)
The need to ensure that reliable, affordable and sustainable energy is a clear priority in building a powerful and strong economy. Therefore energy security has gradually become an integral part of the economic and foreign policies of the European Union and the United States of America. Although this concept did not exist ten years ago, energy security has rapidly risen in importance in the last decade. Both the USA and the EU have implemented energy issues as one of the pillars of their national security. The first chapter of this paper addresses the definition of energy security and characterizes its particular subsystems. The second part is devoted to real security in terms of the first and the second subsystem (the securing of energy resources, and the transport and transformation of energy resources). The final chapter briefly defines the energy policies of the European Union and the United States and compares approaches to ensuring the energy security of both regions. The main objective of this bachelor thesis is to identify and clarify the similarities or potential differences between these two approaches.

Safety and sustainable European´s Union energy policy
Kaša, Daniel ; Vondrušková, Barbora (advisor) ; Bič, Josef (referee)
The bachelor's thesis focuses on the analysis of energy safety and it's sustainibily in the territoty of EU. The aim of the thesis is to point out whether the current energy policy is sustainable and which trend in this sector can be contemplated. Contributory to this aim is the analysis of the development of the EU energy policy from it's rudiment and the most important determinants.

EU energy policy and its goals
Holoubek, Lukáš ; Ševčíková, Michaela (advisor) ; Ryvolová, Ivana (referee)
The aim of my BA thesis is to answer the question why the European Union is trying to have a common energy policy. I will start with the historical events which influenced the process of the economic integration of Europe. Among the milestones of this integration are the foundation of ECSC, the creation of Euratom, the oil shocks in the seventies, the publication of the White Book concerning the EU energy policy and of the Green Book of the European Committee and the Lisbon Treaty (if ratified). I will focus on the events which are leading Europe to solving the energy issue. I will also tackle the question whether by means of the common foreign policy Europe will gain energy independence of unreliable sources and safety. As a method I will use an analysis of the goals of the energy policies - why did the European Union set these goals and what will reaching these goals bring to the EU states. In the concluding part I will compare the goals of the EU energy policy with the Czech energy policy.

EU energy policy and fighting the climate change
Kováč, Štefan ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Vondrušková, Barbora (referee)
In my bachelor thesis I am focusing on EU energy policy in the realm of cutting CO2 emissions. The solution of stopping the climate change lies in consecutive introduiction and implementation of more ecological technologies. EU energy policy is affected by the goal of stoppint the climate change. I describe the measures which were already approved and goals to the future. I consider renewable energy sources as a good step towards the cutting of emissions greenhouse gases and towards greater EU's energy independance of imports of energy sources. The last chapter is focused on European Union Emissions Trade System which was established in order to motivate companies to cut CO2 emissions.

European energy policy and its influence on the Czech energetic sector
Vágnerová, Daniela ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Popovová, Marie (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with influence of European energy policy on the Czech energetic sector. The first chapter devotes to the comparison of both areas main indicators like production, import, consumption and prices. The second chapter of this bachelor thesis describes the European energy policy -- its development, core objectives and measures which has to be taken to reach these objectives. The third chapter focuses on Czech energy policy, its development after Velvet revolution and main objectives of current policy. The last chapter assesses the influence of European energy policy on the Czech energetic sector.

Energy policy in Canada
Brunclíková, Jana ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Vondrušková, Barbora (referee)
Canada dispose of a rich variety of energy resources including oil, gas, coal and uranium. As a net exporter of all these commodities and all the related top technologies and services, the Canadian Confederation has all the favorable conditions for a successful energy policy. Oil and gas industry was one of the most supported sectors of the Canadian economy. Many regulations were established in the 60's. Significant Federal and Provincial tax incentives were available for the development of the industry. But now, liberalization seems to be the new rule. Despite considerable economic gain, increasing proportion of oil and gas exportations, compared to the total production, brings concerns about the future energy security and the environment. Moreover, the beginning of the bitumen sand production represents the biggest ecology threat in the Canadian near future. As the system of governance is deeply decentralized in Canada, this report shows the necessity of federal-provincial cooperation, no matter the differences in the individual energy policies.

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.
