WtE plant carbon footprint
Staňková, Lucie ; Brummer, Vladimír (referee) ; Krišpín, Jan (advisor)
The value of the carbon footprint of the WtE plant is necessary for reducing emitted greenhouse gases. In this paper, research on carbon footprint assessment is conducted, while the principles for calculating the carbon footprint according to EN 15978 standard for the sustainability of construction works through the whole life cycle are applied. This methodology is enriched with the technological unit's carbon footprint, including processes The proposed computational model is applied to determine the carbon footprint of the WtE plant Evecont. The main contribution to the carbon footprint of the WtE plant is the use phase due to carbon dioxide in the flue gas. A substantial carbon footprint reduction can be achieved by incorporating technology to capture carbon dioxide from the flue gas (CCS technology). The results achieved for the WtE plant are compared against landfill and heat from the central heat supply system. This work provides a tool that can be applied to other process industry units, allowing the carbon footprint to be calculated in detail and benchmarks to be established for the comparison of new projects.

SF6 Alternatives in Power Engineering
Hofrová, Klára ; Pelikán, Luděk (referee) ; Krbal, Michal (advisor)
Sulphur hexafluoride is most widely used gaseous insulating medium. Its excellent electronegative properties make it practically unrivalled in the energy sector. However, due to its strong global warming potential and long lifetime in the atmosphere, it is considered one of the fluorinated greenhouse gases that the European Commission wants to restrict or ban completely. This has created a problem for companies that manufacture equipment with SF6. In this paper, the latest regulations of the European Commission are compiled. It also discusses the technical and environmental requirements that are placed on these gases. Last but not least, the alternatives and their properties are listed, followed by the results from the test cell.

Study of the ecological impact of production, operation and disposal of various types of cars
Raffay, Tobiáš ; Čudek, Pavel (referee) ; Jaššo, Kamil (advisor)
This master thesis focuses on the problem of the ecological impact of the production, use and disposal of vehicles. The theoretical part summarizes the necessary theoretical knowledge for an introduction to this issue. Thus, it focuses on the entire life cycle of a passenger vehicle and the emissions associated with it. The thesis deals with the greenhouse gases released during the whole life cycle of the vehicle. Thus, from the processing of materials, the production of passenger car parts, also in the production and combustion of fuel as well as in the disposal and recycling of the vehicle. The work compares the emissions of petrol, diesel, electric and hydrogen vehicles.
