The new Energy Technologies Institute, a public-private partnership for research into energy sources, will be based in the Midlands, the government said yesterday, after a consortium at Loughborough University won the right to host it.
David Clarke, the head of technology strategy at Rolls-Royce, is to be the institute’s chief executive. Six companies – BP, Royal Dutch Shell, EDF Energy, Eon, Rolls-Royce and Caterpillar – are backing the ETI, promising £5m a year each for ten years.
However, the institute has yet to secure all the private sector funding it is seeking, though it was first proposed by Gordon Brown 18 months ago. The government has pledged up to £550m over ten years, and wants the private sector to contribute the same, but is £250m short.
The ETI is being established amidst concern that Britain is in danger of being left behind in the development of technologies for energy with low carbon dioxide emissions.

The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
