Dwa lata po Fukushimie. Sektor energetyczny, strategia rządu i przyszłość Japonii
(WSMiP UJ/Księgarnia Akademicka, 2014) Bieliszczuk, Bartosz; Uniwersytet Jagielloński
In 2011, Japan was hit by an unprecedented disaster – an earthquake and a tsu‑ nami that led to one of the biggest nuclear accidents in world’s history. This paper analyses Japan’s energy situation before and after the event, focusing on whether or not – and if, how – this tragedy changed the country’s energy poli‑ cy. To achieve this aim, the author focuses on Japan’s energy profile, energy mix and characterises the country’s accessibility to natural resources including natu‑ ral gas, oil and hard coal. The article also discusses the country’s electric energy production, warehousing and transmission infrastructure. It provides a detailed analysis of legal regulations and competencies of relevant ministries, as well as governmental policies, strategies and aims. Another significant issue raised is the inclusion of renewable energy sources in Japan’s future energy mix. The paper also takes into consideration the Japanese public’s reaction to the Fukushima dis‑ aster and traces the changing attitude of the Japanese to nuclear energy. The con‑ clusions describe possible future energy scenarios and their consequences for the country’s energy and economic security

Odnawialne źródła energii w Polsce
(WSMiP UJ/Księgarnia Akademicka, 2013) Ignarska, Magdalena; Uniwersytet Jagielloński
Nowadays the renewables is a dynamically developing branch of industry, also in Poland. Electrical energy production based on mineral resources will give way to energy from renewable sources, whose main feature is their inexhaustibility. The article concentrates on the use of green energy, pointing out advantages, barriers and consequences of using alternative sources of energy. The Polish government has worked out a strategy of development of renewable energy which postulates raising renewable energy target from primary sources to 15% by 2020 in the total consumption of electrical energy in Poland.
