Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The subject deals with the issue of energy specificities of the European Union. Comprehensively summarizes and analyzes the development of energy policy and its inclusion in the agenda of the European Union with regard to aspects of the European integration process. The priority here is security of energy supply in the liberalized market environment and reducing energy intensiveness of processes associated with the production, transformation and distribution of energy. Analyzes the possibilities of improving the energy efficiency of technological processes and energy savings, as well as the development of new conventional and nuclear technology in accordance with the development of renewable energy sources, which are part of the energy mix.
Main topics:
1. The origin and history of the state and the European Union.
2. The history of technology and energy, the development of industry in Europe and the Czech Republic.
3. Fuel and energy balance. EU energy integration and interconnection markets.
4. Creation of the fuel mix and energy security.
5. Energy transmission networks in the EU and the Czech Republic and their development.
6. Energy policy and low carbon EU economy.
7. European energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions targets.
8. Energy Union European Union.
9. Low carbon energy technologies.
