Power to gas system
Urbánek, Štěpán ; Baláš, Marek (referee) ; Pospíšil, Jiří (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with Power to Gas system and its subcomponents. The first part of this thesis is research of the Power to Gas subcomponents. In the second part a balance model of the Power to Gas system is developed based on the traced technical parameters from the first part. The third part deals with traceable implementations of the Power to Gas system and the last part is the design of the system for home implementation.

Possibilities of waste glycerol reprocessing
Hýža, Bohumil ; Friedl, Zdeněk (referee) ; Kizlink, Juraj (advisor)
The aim of my bachelor thesis is to describe the possibilities of waste glycerol reprocessing. The thesis is purely theoretical and the information were obtained from various literary sources. Introduction of the study deals with the technological aspects of production of biodiesel by esterification of vegetable oils with methanol. Futhermore, there is described the amount of biodiesel produced in various countries around the world. In the theoretical part of the study are mentioned physical and chemical properties of glycerol and its traditional uses include the manufacture of nitroglycerin, the pharmaceutical use, etc. There are presented different technological methods for processing large quantities of glycerol too, such as steam reforming, which generates syngas which can be used for production of liquid fuels via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. There is also desribed reduction of glycerol to propylene glycol with hydrogen. Other methods are dehydroxylation of glycerol to 1,3 - propanediol, halogenation of glycerol to produce epichlorohydrin, the catalytic dehydration of glycerol to acrolein and 3-hydroxy-propionic aldehyde, oxydehydration to polyacrylic acid, glycerol butylation over the Amberlyst catalyst and the formation of glycerol-tert-butyl ethers used as additives for fuels , polymerization of glycerol to polyglycerols, glycerol hydrothermal conversion to lactic acid catalyzed by alkali, esterification of carboxylic acids and glycerol to form glycerol esters, selective oxidation of glycerol to glyceric acid, tartronic acid and dihydroxyacetone, and glycerol as an additive for cement.

Hydrogen fuel cells
Kejval, Dan ; Kučera, Pavel (referee) ; Píštěk, Václav (advisor)
The replacement of the current fuels and engines presents one of the most important tasks not only for vehicle manufacturers but also in the energy industry. Whole world is trying to limit the production of greenhouse gasses which pollute the environment and switch to sources that will not produce any harmful emissions as fast as possible. One of these are hydrogen fuel cells, which are the focus of the thesis and explains how hydrogen is produced and stored. It shows the principle on which they work, what designs currently exist and also evaluates their efficiency. According to temperature and material of the electrolyte they can be divided into various types which offer a wide range of performances and their use. Thanks to that, this device began to spread both in the Czech Republic, where the effort is to firstly expand public transportation to include busses using the hydrogen fuel cells and at foreign vehicle manufacturers where carmakers such Toyota and Hyundai already mass-produce passenger cars, trucks or buses with this source of electricity.

The Russian Federation's membership in the WTO
Volkhina, Margarita ; Žamberský, Pavel (advisor) ; Neumann, Pavel (referee)
The aim of this study is to analyze the current readiness of Russia to become a member of WTO and to analyze how this membership will impact the russian economy generally.That is why this work set out the following tasks: In the first chapter - to explore the specific activities of the World Trade Organization, to determine its objectives and functions. In the second chapter - to explore the various stages of the Russia's accession to WTO and define the emerging results and complications. In the third chapter, I consider it necessary to examine the current status of Russia in international trade. Some attention will be paid to attitude of Russia's largest trading partners to accession. In the fourth chapter - to explore how Russian accession to the WTO will impact its main sectors and analyze the impact of economic liberalization on the overall economic situation in the country. In the final chapter - to explore possible ways of reforming the economy
