Potential of renewable resource utilzation in the Republic of Moldova
Granici, Olga ; Braniš, Martin (advisor) ; Přibil, Rudolf (referee)
With growing energy consumption the sector with renewable resources is increasing and becoming interesting for countries all around the world. Use of renewable sources of energy around the world recorded an increasing trend. Currently Moldova do not use hardly any of the renewable technologies. The potential for using alternative energy sources in the country is relatively high. The task of the thesis is to find potential applications of renewable energy sources on the territory of Moldova. Installation of renewable energy technologies considered in the work on the basis of geographic or climatic conditions of the state. One of the main motives of involving a broad spectrum of renewable energy in Moldova could be an attempt to reduce energy dependence on neighboring countries and increase own share of energy production. The thesis is based on the knowledge of the application of renewable energy in the rest of the world.

Energy policy of EU - relations with Russia
Gerendová, Laura ; Němcová, Ingeborg (advisor) ; Vlčková, Jana (referee)
European union does not dispose of balanced energy reserves to cover the ever-increasing energy consumption in Europe and so is highly dependent on energy imports from abroad. The most important energy supplier to the EU is Russia, which mainly imports oil and natural gas, but the EUs high dependence on Russia is threatening the EUs energy security. On the contrary, Russia is heavily dependent on European energy markets. Bachelor thesis aims to analyze development of the energy policy situation and its dependence on EU-Russia relations, to measure interdependence of EU-Russia and to outline the possibilities of diversification of business relations and distribution channels between these actors and related impacts on the economy. The EU should concentrate on uniting the individual states in the matter of energy relations with Russia, that would ensure a better negotiation position.

Energy law and protection of the environment
Vohnoutová, Alena ; Damohorský, Milan (advisor) ; Sobotka, Michal (referee)
The aim of my thesis is to create a comprehensive overview of energy law with special focus on its influence on the environment. It especially deals with individual renewable energy sources and their support, construction of facilities utilizing these sources and their impact on the environment. Last but not least, in each chapter I draw attention to recent or expected amendments to relevant legislation. In the first chapter I divide sources of energy into the fossil, nuclear and renewable ones. Besides presenting the basic characteristics of such sources, I also deal with the time period in which the humankind will run out of their supplies, as well as with detrimental effects that their mining and processing have on the environment. Based on the classification included in the Act on the Promotion of Renewable Energy Sources, I continue with classifying the renewable energy sources to wind power, energy of water and solar radiation, geothermal energy, biomass and biogas. I consider their benefits, but also their harmful effects on the environment. Each subchapter also contains a part that deals with the potential of such resources in the Czech Republic. Since Czech energy law is influenced by both international and European laws, I dedicate the next chapter to them. On the level of international...

Energy security in selected countries of Central and Eastern Europe
Števková, Lenka ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Kašpar, Václav (referee)
The thesis analyzes energy security in a group of countries of Central and Eastern Europe in the background of their relations with the Russian Federation. The first part defines energy security, then proceeds to a common energy policy of the European Union, analyzes the main problems and challenges and proposes possible solutions. The second part deals with energy dependency between the European Union and the Russian Federation, discusses Russian interests in the region and Russian energy policy. The last part of the thesis compares the energy policy of Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Germany and Ukraine.

The Energy dependency of world´s economic centers
Štesková, Beáta ; Vošta, Milan (advisor) ; Bič, Josef (referee)
This master's thesis aims to assess energy dependency on primary energy sources of the three main economic actors in the contemporary world scene that includes the European Union, the United States and China. Energy geopolitics gets a new face nowadays, turns upside down and the centers of world economy must face all these changes. Disparity in availability of energy sources and consumption, new drilling and manufacturing technologies, methods of extractions, new players and adopted energy policies as well as limited domestic supplies have a significant impact on the structure of the energy mix and energy (un)self-sufficiency. In the first part, the author deals with engineering and deployment of observed energy sources as well as the definition of energy dependency respectively energy security. In the next chapters, the author focuses especially on three economic centers while analyzing the nature, characteristics and trend of their production and consumption of energy as well as energy raw materials flow to these countries respectively to integrations. At the end, the author obtains by these analyses an image of energy dependency or vulnerability of these economies.

World's leading economic powers and their energy dependence
Vomáčková, Anna ; Vošta, Milan (advisor) ; Machytka, Daniel (referee)
The main subject of this paper is the disparity between the regions of production and consumption of energy in the world resulting in energy dependence. In the first chapter, the author characterises existing energy resources and their allocation in the world, then defines the notion of energy dependence itself. In the following four chapters, the focus is made on the four world's leading economic powers -- European Union, United States, Japan and China. These chapters analyse the main features of energy production and consumption as well as the major oil, natural gas and coal trade flows to the treated economies. Using the data, the paper draws the rate of energy dependence or vulnerability of these economies.

The world economic centers energy dependence
Bognárová, Eliška ; Vošta, Milan (advisor) ; Vondrušková, Barbora (referee)
Today's world needs increasing amounts of energy for satisfaction of all human needs and wants. The fundamental problem is enormous disproportion among the areas with the largest energy consumption and places with the greatest energy reserves. This thesis set out to analyze the economic vulnerability of the biggest players in the world in terms of energy self-(in)sufficiency. The main focus of this thesis is to evaluate the status and future potential on the issue of fossil fuels, especially oil, natural gas and coal in the three world centers, the U.S., the EU and China. The thesis contains information about the alternative "clean" energy sources as well. Future energy development in these countries will affect their position in the world economy and mutual relations and also impact the current balance of power of these players.

European Union's Energy Dependence
Hladíková, Andrea ; Urban, Luděk (advisor) ; Ševčíková, Michaela (referee)
In the first part of my diploma thesis I analyze energy policies of six selected Member states (France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Finland and Czech Republic) and the development of the creation efforts of the external European Union's energy policy during the process of the european integration. Third chapter is devoted to the analysis of the EU's energy situation, primarily to the possibilities of the reduction of the strong EU's external energy dependence. The following chapter deals with the analysis of global raw materials market and their (potential) suppliers. In the last chapter I analyze creation possibility of the common external energy policy as the energy security tool of Member states.

European dependence on oil and its consequences
Koderová, Markéta ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Machytka, Daniel (referee)
Energy plays a fundamental role in economic activities. It influences our everyday life and concerns everyone of us. Exactly due to these reasons it is necessary to be concerned with the energetic situation of our region and with the state of dependency related to using oil as an energetic source in Europe. This is the crucial topic and major objective of the research of this work. At the same time the attention is paid to outlining possible recommendations for the European countries considering territorial diversification and reserching the spectrum of potential alternatives to oil.
