The Energy Technologies Institute, the new public private partnership for backing research into new energy sources, has made its first offers of grants for projects in offshore wind, wave and tidal power. The ETI is collaborating with the Carbon Trust, the government-backed company that promotes low carbon technologies, to provide £40m to back ideas for cutting costs in offshore wind power.
Britain has the potential to develop a big offshore wind generation industry, that would avoid the problems of local resistance to onshore wind farms, but the business is hampered by its relatively high costs.
John Hutton, the business secretary, last week suggested a target of 33,000MW from offshore wind by 2020, an objective the industry association described as “extremely ambitious”.
The ETI and the Carbon Trust are calling for ideas by February 19, and want to get projects up and running by mid 2008. The ETI is backed by companies including BP, Royal Dutch Shell and Rolls-Royce.

His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. 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.
