Abstract

The European Green Deal is a set of policy initiatives by the European Commission with the overarching aim of making Europe climate
neutral in 2050. An impact assessed plan will also be presented to increase the European Union´s greenhouse gas emission reductions
target for 2030 to at least 50% and towards 55% compared with 1990 levels. The European Green Deal has goals extending to many
different sectors, including construction, biodiversity, energy, transport and food. For the European Union to reach their target of
climate neutrality, one goal is to decarbonise their energy system by aiming to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Article deals with current aspects of decarbonisation in the Czech Republic and possibilities of replacement coal energy sources by
renewable sources of electric energy. Paper describes present situation in branch of production of electric energy and possible scenarios
for reduction of coal energy sources in the Czech Republic.
