Cíle předmětu
In this course we examine the key elements of the global energy economy and how they relate to decision-making at major energy corporations. We start with an overview of the major drivers of the global energy market and the key shifts that are currently underway due to the emergence of renewable energy. We discuss energy demand, oil, gas and coal prices, future scenarios for wind and solar and the impact of energy efficiency. We also discuss the increasing electrification of the energy system and the changing fuel inputs. We then relate all these topics to a series of example investments that could be made by energy companies and consumers, and discuss the key parameters of the decision-making process. We then move onto the geopolitics of energy, discussing the key role of Russia but also including key elements of Middle East policy (especially Saudi Arabia) and the key drivers for consuming countries such as China and India. We also look at the changing energy policy of the US thanks to the emergence of shale oil and gas as well as the election of Donald Trump as president. Students are then set a short essay question, within which they can choose one corporation or country and discuss the impact of the changing energy economy upon it.
