Utilization of biogas in transport
Strnadel, Bronislav ; Kučera, Pavel (referee) ; Vopařil, Jan (advisor)
The subject of this bachelor’s thesis is the utilization of biogas as a fuel for vehicle engines. First of all, methods of production, upgrading and utilization of biogas are explained. Then the situation in the Czech Republic and in Sweden is compared. Next part of the thesis is focused on the vehicles which burn upgraded biogas or natural gas vehicles. Their construc-tion and the function of fuel system are described in detail. The dependence of shape of combustion chamber on engine performance and the issue of protection of valves and their seats are described in this chapter. In the last part, a business case study of utilization of bio-gas from a biogas station is elaborated.

Hydrogen filling station
Kaše, Jakub ; Šnajdárek, Ladislav (referee) ; Pospíšil, Jiří (advisor)
Presented master’s thesis deals with hydrogen filling stations, their concepts, design, and operation. The importance of hydrogen as an energy carrier, its properties, and the implications of these properties for the selection of materials suitable for hydrogen applications are described. In order to understand the decisions made in the design of the station, the hydrogen life cycle from production through transportation and storage to use is presented. This is followed by an evaluation of the cycle in terms of economics and environmental impact. The review part of the paper concludes with an introduction to fuel cell vehicles, which includes an overview of the selected passenger and commercial vehicles, and a description of hydrogen filling stations. The filling stations are discussed in terms of concepts and components, and an overview and analysis of selected implementations is also included. The computational part of the thesis focuses on the design and technoeconomic analysis of a hydrogen filling station with a daily capacity of approximately 50 kg/day and an hourly capacity of 6 vehicles/hour for the needs of the logistics company Zásilkovna s.r.o. A station variant with hydrogen gas delivery in pressure vessels was chosen. Three possible designs of the station were compared. The hydrogen filling station can be designed for the specified parameters without any problems. However, the analysis of the results showed a very strong dependence of the acquisition and operating costs on the nominal compressor power. Therefore, the design of the hydrogen filling station requires further optimization, which limits the direct applicability of the presented results.

Analýza tržního podílu a rozvoje infrastruktury u automobilů využívajících pohon CNG
Tesař, Michal
The bachelor thesis provides a comprehensive overview of CNG topic. Theoretical part is focused on natural gas formation, structure and it´s transport. The operation of the CNG vehicles, tax benefits, garages, services and filling stations requirements are included at the part focused on legislation. Besides car market analysis and infrastructure development there is also a comparison of CNG cars available on Czech car market included. For the best-selling models the differences in construction are mentioned. One of the chapters is focused on possibilities of drives rebuilding. Knowledge obtained during test drives are the most valuable part of the bachelor thesis.
