Japan's Energy Policy: Internal and External Impacts
Roštínský, Jakub ; Jeníček, Vladimír (advisor) ; Vošta, Milan (referee)
Main purpose of this thesis is to give complex overview of energy policy development in Japan and to identify the impact of Fukushima accident on actual energy policy in Japan. Thesis is divided into five chapters. In the first chapter the emphasis is put on development in second half of 20th century in which were created foundations of Japanese energy policy. Second chapter is focused on analysis of energy policy during first decade of 21st century, when complex definition and structure of Japanese energy policy was established. In third chapter author addresses the impact of Fukushima accident on official energy policy of Japan. The emphasis is put on identification of main changes in government attitude to nuclear energy and its place in energy mix of the country. Fourth chapter involves analysis of influence of Fukushima accident on three pillars of Japanese energy policy -- economy, energy security and environment. In last chapter author studies reactions of other countries on events in Fukushima in context of nuclear energy. Thesis is closed by analysis of present trend in world nuclear energy.

Cost-effectiveness of energy efficiency investments in the Czech Republic
Stárek, Michal ; Vojáček, Ondřej (advisor) ; Jílková, Jiřina (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to determine why there are set wrong conditions of public expenditure programs to improve energy efficiency in the Czech Republic. The thesis analyzes conditions of funding and planning of specific projects funded by the Operational Environment program. The main criterion for evaluating projects is the consideration of energy efficiency. Methodologically, the research is based on an analysis of secondary data and the concept of cost-effectiveness. Based on the analysis, recommendations are made for changes in processes and parameterization of public expenditure programs in order to take account of higher energy efficiency criteria in the design and selection of supported projects, and thus be the energy efficiency target for 2020 by 20% could be achieved.

Energy policy of the EU aiming at nuclear power
Číhalová, Denisa ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Burket, Daneš (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to compare energy policy of chosen countries in terms of their access to nuclear power. In my thesis I have analysed the attitude of the member states of the EU to nuclear power and criteria, which influence them by decision making. For comparison, I chose four European Union countries - the Czech Republic, Germany, France and Great Britain, which have completely different attitude.

The liberalization of the gas industry in the European Union
Giľaková, Daniela ; Němcová, Ingeborg (advisor) ; Bič, Josef (referee)
This thesis focuses on the process of liberalization of the natural gas market in Europe. The aim of this thesis is to present energy policy and its development in relation to the liberalization of the gas industry in the EU. Moreover another aim of this thesis is to bring a critical look at the process of liberalization of natural gas market in practice and assess the current stage of the liberalization process in EU. The gas industry represents one of the parts of energy industry and from this reason the indroduction of this thesis is devoted to the development of energy and energy policy from the 2nd world war to the present. The next chapter of this thesis is focuses on the importance and the position of natural gas among the other energy sources. The next chapter describes the process of the liberalization in the European Union, which is related to the adoption and implementation of the European energy directives and regulations, also known as the energy packages, in to the national legislation. In the last chapter are analyzed some of the factors of the liberalization of the gas market in the Czech Republic

Comparison of energy dependence of the Czech Republic and Slovakia and its implications for their energy policy
Rigó, Alexander ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Machytka, Daniel (referee)
This bachelor thesis compares the energy dependence of Slovakia and the Czech Republic and resulting implications for energy policy of both countries. The thesis presents the degree of dependence on energy sources and suppliers of energy to both Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The first chapter defines the term of energy dependence and energy security. Given that EU energy policy greatly influences the energy policies of their member countries, the first chapter also introduces the energy situation in the EU and its position in the world. The second and third chapters deal with the energy situation in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. These chapters introduce the energy policies of the Czech Republic and Slovakia, their dependence on energy resources and suppliers, and show the implications for their energy policies.

Influence of State energy policy on competitiveness of the Czech Republic
Szennai, Tomáš ; Černohlávková, Eva (advisor) ; Froňková, Martina (referee)
This final thesis addresses the issue of influence of energy policy on competitiveness of the Czech Republic. First part analyzes possible risks entailed by movements of prices of energy commodities on global markets. Subsequently, it offers specification of local resources, production and demand for such commodities and possible measures at disposal of the governmental bodies, which could be used to mitigate any negative impacts of adverse development on the market. Secondly, field of power engineering in the Czech Republic is focused on. Main local characteristics are offered and predictions based on respective strategic documents are evaluated with regard to final price of electricity. Lastly, issue of energy security is covered.

Aplikace operačního výskumu ve věřejném sektoru
Martinovič, Tomáš ; Jablonský, Josef (advisor) ; Suchánková, Tereza (referee)
Operations research in public sector is overshadowed by business sector. However it deals with a substantial amount of problems which concern whole population. Although it is not presented so much, a lot of research was made in many areas of the public sector. This thesis provide some basic information about where the operations research can be used. Then some approaches and model system used in energy policy modeling are presented. Lastly the use of operations research in water quality management is illustrated on a basic model minimizing the cost of water treatment.

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.
