This dissertation aims primarily at determining the energy yield that can be produced, if certain species of energy crops are grown (under various regimes of fertilizing and sowing) by the Faculty of Agriculture, the University of South Bohemia, on a university's trial parcel. Zea mays L. is one of the energy crops chosen for the experiment; it is grown on a large area in the Czech Republic nowadays. Perennial crops of Phalaris arundinacea L., Elymus elongatus subsp. ponticus cv. Szarvasi-1 andMiscanthus × giganteus were also chosen for this experiment. Based on the collected data, a risk of erosion provoked by the above-mentioned crops has been determined by using USLE method. The crop stands and the soil have been analysed too. This analysis has focused on the organic matter evaluation, by using a brand new method. Last but not least, occurrence of Carabidae beetles has been studied and evaluated within the research; they are considered bio indicators of the environmental conditions. Our experiment has shown that Zea mays L. is the most high-yielding species. On the other hand, Phalaris arundinacea L. has not produced positive results; the most high-yielding variation of it only made a half yield of Zea mays L. In contrast to Zea mays L., grass species of Phalaris arundinacea L. andElymus elongatus have had an extraordinary anti-erosion capacity. Studying the amount of primary organic matter in the soil, we have found almost double amount of it in Miscanthus × giganteus andZea mays L. crop stands, compared to another two species. Monitoring oxidation reaction kinetics of the primary organic matter, we could count the oxidation speed constant of k. There have been dramatic differences between the individual soil samples. However, the data file is too complicated to draw the general conclusion from. On the other hand, evaluating the data gathered by studying Carabidae beetles and the environmental values of the crops stands, we have found out the crop stands are not too valuable from the environmental point of view. We have found out the perennial species have got an extraordinary anti-erosion capacity. We recommend Miscanthus × giganteus and Elymus elongatus, in particular, as an alternative to corn, especially to regions highly endangered by erosion.

As part of the fight against global warming, the European Union has opted for increase in support for renewable energy at the cost of conventional sources. This policy was subsequently implemented into national legislation. At the same time, the Czech Republic has framed an Updated State Energy Policy, which sets out the direction for Czech energy to evolve. This thesis tries to analyze whether the Czech Republic is ready for future energy development or not. This analysis shows that the Czech Republic is not entirely ready to provide energy stability in the context of a transforming market.

This thesis aims on solving consequences of nuclear accidents in nucler power plants through commercial insurance. First part of this work introduces internationl liability framework for nuclear accidents, which contains international nuclear threaties and work of International Atomic Energy Agency, altogether with work of czech Agency for nuclear security. Next chapters describe nuclear insurance pools, with special focus on american pool American Nuclear Insurers and Czech nuclear insurance pool. Final part of this thesis goes through two big nuclear accidents in Three Mile Island power plant and in Fukushima power plant. Both accidents are described in wide perspective, including solving and financing of consequences from nuclear insurance and from other financial sources available at the time of disaster.

This masters thesis aims to assess and evaluate the potential of home based energy storage systems for the final user. In theoretical part it therefore describes the historical development of the European power sector with the purpose of determining, what was the impact of this development on products offered by energy providers to the final consumers of electricity. Findings from this analysis are then used to design a model, which is introduced and described in the practical part of the masters thesis. This model is afterwards used to assess the profitability of home batteries implementation by three different types of households and also to determine, what are the key drivers and constraints for the adoption of energy storage systems by households.

Support for photovoltaic plants that originated before 2014, as well as support for renewable energy in general, artificially increases the price of energy and this measure has secondary effects in the form of rising prices of farmland and thus food. The regulation also creates distortions, for example on coal markets, which reduces the demand for this commodity. This thesis deals with the introduction of regulation and analysis of the motivation for the introduction of quotas in the energy policy of the European Union. Subsequent analysis evaluates the intended and unintended effects of regulation, which are not visible at first sight on this issue. The European Commission has so far not planned reassessment of policy support for renewable energy sources.

Práce analyzuje faktory ovlivňující hlubší spolupráci států EU v sektoru energetiky a možnost vytvoření společné energetické politiky. Zaměřuje se na hlavní překážky větší integrace v tomto sektoru, především na problematiku strategičnosti odvětví, jaderné energie, národní rozdíly mezi státy a rozdílné postoje členských států k hlavním dodavatelům energií do EU. Rozebírá energetické politiky vybraných členských států a hodnotí současné strategie EU, které mají vést k vytvoření hlubší spolupráce. Poukazuje na energetickou bezpečnost jednotlivých států i EU jako celku a s tím související rostoucí závislost na dovozech energií.

Graduation theses deals with problems of nuclear energetics and its impact on the environment. It presents the progress of nuclear power station in all contexts and tries to demostrate that the nuclear energetics is unavoidable progression. The work further describes the influence of Nuclear power station Dukovany on its close environment, especially on animals, plants and the health of inhabitants.

Crude oil is an important commodity of world trade and it has become an essential part of everyday life. It is a necessary condition of economic growth, which in the current situation of economic boom of China, India and other developing countries entails an economically, ecologically, socially and geopolitically unsustainable problem. The turbulent sequence of past events on the crude oil market only foreshadows the future development that is going to occure after achieving the crude oil production peak. The following irreversible changes will be more revolutionary than evolutional. The era of cheap oil will parish and the 21st century is going to be distinguished by fights for energy and resources. This is one of the reasons why many renowned institutions and organisations are concerned with these questions, trying to predict future scenarios and find feasible solutions. The world needs secure, renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources, however crude oil is unfortunately none of them. Radical transition from crude oil economy to a clean alternative one, that is probably the most suitable solution to current situation, will require engagement of governments, organisations and individuals as well. It is an inevitable step of preserving the world for humanity and the coming generations. Crude oil market perspectives are quite well foreseeable for the coming decades, questionable remains only the proper solution of the rising problems and action of taking the correct steps in the right direction.

A strategy analysis of former development and present strategic position of ČEZ, a.s. is made in this diploma thesis. There were used such analysis as PEST, Porter's 5F model, 4C, SWOT and internal analysis. On the basis of my analysis I formulate conclusion.

In this Thesis I focus on the ensuring of the energy safety in the Czech republic.Further more I deal with a size of the resources, energy utilization, energy legislation and energy forecasting.
