CO2 reduction with algae
Naider, Jakub ; Rebej, Miroslav (referee) ; Vondál, Jiří (advisor)
The aim of this final thesis is the process of algae cultivation their use for carbon dioxid reduction. The main objective of this work is the mass and heat balance of the photobioreactor and the design of a temperature control system. Within the research work, an overview of certain types of bioreactors and photobioreactors, the current situation around the climate and the impact of the cultivation of algae on carbon dioxide emissions. The model for temperature control and mass transfer of a plate photobioreactor is created in this work.

Hemp as an alternative fuel
Jaworská, Petra ; Zejda, Vojtěch (referee) ; Hudák, Igor (advisor)
Bachelor thesis as literary research deals with possibilities of using hemp as an energy crop and its development and sustainability in the future. Production of hemp bio-fuels in Czech Republic is in the beginning but increasing interest in alternative energy sources presumes development in this branch. Producing bio-fuels made of hemp biomass brings many positive benefits in liquid, gas or solid states. Liquid biodiesel made of hemp presents alternative source of energy that can be used in common diesel engines. Hemp hurds briquettes are the most used hemp fuel in our country. Hemp briquettes has perfect properties in comparison to other sources. High heat of combustion, low purchase price and environmental friendliness gives motivation to create new growing branches. Second most common use is biogas fuel. Biogas is produced in usual biofermenter using hemp biomass often with admixture of slurry. Hemp biogas properties are also very satisfactory. In Czech Republic is huge potential in development and production of hemp biogas due to large number of biogas plants. Despite financially demanding processing of the hemp biomass the amount of biomass grow during one year makes this plant one of the most profitable alternative source for production of bio-fuels.

Possibilities of Present Automobile Fuels Substitution
Doležal, Lukáš ; Svída, David (referee) ; Dundálek, Radim (advisor)
The presented bachelor thesis deals with contemporary fuels and their substitutes . The first part summarises properties and future of crude oil and today commonly and mostly used fuels that are made from oil. These are mainly petrol and diesel oil. The second part is focused on alternative fuels such as LPG, natural gas, bio-fuel and hydrogen. Each subchapter summarises the most important characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. The third part deals with electric energy used as a substitute . This chapter is divided into three subchapters, namely electromobiles, fuel cells and hybrid vehicles. The individual subchapters again summarise the most important information, above all advantages and disadvantages. In the conclusion, emulsive oil is also mentioned.

Methods for determining the properties
Lainka, Pavel ; Špiláček, Michal (referee) ; Hrnčířová, Michaela (advisor)
In this work are elaborated methods for determining the properties of the biomass, which is nowadays a few. Procedures for determining the properties are described by individual standards. Each property has its own standard which accurately describes the procedure for the determination of this property. The introduction describes the general concept of biomass, formation of biomass and its distribution. In the next part of the thesis describes the different properties of biomass. Among the most important features include biomass moisture content, calorific value and ash content, which is determined by gross analysis. These properties are in the conclusion experimentally measured, as described in the standards for some types of biomass.

Reducing CO2 Emission in Air Transport
Fričová, Barbora ; Šplíchal, Miroslav (referee) ; Kaddour, Mirvat (advisor)
Reducing CO2 emission in air transport is the main theme of this master´s thesis. As the public interest in aviation and climate change is world´s growing it could be consider as a hot topic. As a response to public interest was the creation of contracts, standards and limits of carbon dioxide emissions. The master´s thesis is divided into several parts. The first is mapping of global air traffic and carbon dioxide emissions. The second part deals with European approach to solving problems of reducing CO2 emissions follows by description of ICAO Aeroplane CO2 emissions standard. The part of the thesis is the overview of the use of biofuels in aviation and their price. The conclusion summarizes all knowledge learned while working on this thesis.

New generation of biofuels
Pražák, Vojtěch ; Lisá, Hana (referee) ; Baláš, Marek (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with different generations of biofuels. Their advantages and disadvantages and problems associated with their use in practice. The first part of the theses focuses on legislation and acquaintance with the issue of biofuels as a whole. The second part is focused on acquaintance and description of individual biofuels with examples of use in practice. At the end of the work there is an analysis of individual generations, representation in the fuel market and their efficiency.

Vegetable oil as a fuel for a diesel engine
Kuběna, Pavel ; Kloss, Ondřej (referee) ; Kaplan, Zdeněk (advisor)
This thesis offers an opportunity to get closely acquainted with ignition engines running on alternative fuels. At the beginning of this work the reader is offered a wide variety of alternative fuels since born automotive industry, their basic information, features, use, and technical issues of each fuel. In the following part of this thesis, the author deals only with vegetable oil and its potential use as a fuel in an ignition internal combustion engine. It focuses on the specific conversion vehicles, their complexity, advantages and disadvantages, the overall economy of operation and risks of using vegetable oil instead of conventional diesel fuel. There is also documented performance characteristics and ecological balance of a particular target vehicle.
