Energy cluster 2

The Science and Enterprise Park offers an outstanding location for energy technology organisations as part of an established innovation cluster with access to leading-edge research and top specification laboratories. The Park's Charnwood Building is a unique facility in the UK originally designed for gas research that features exceptionally high levels of engineering services for gas handling, extraction and ventilation.

The energy cluster at the Park has grown exponentially since the opening in 1995 of the British Gas Research Centre, now part of Germanischer Lloyd, the global engineering consultancy specialising in the oil and gas industries which was acquired by BSI in March 2010.

The Park is also home to the national Energy Technologies Institute, a £1B public private partnership involving BP, Shell, E.ON, EDF, Caterpillar and Rolls Royce. It also houses the University's international research institutes including the Centre for Renewable Energy and Sustainable Technologies that boasts the UK's largest photovoltaic laboratory.

Spring 2010 sees the relocation to the Park of Intelligent Energy, the global clean power systems company originated from a Loughborough University spin out.  Located close to the Park's Hydrogen Refuelling Station, Intelligent Energy has just launched the Burgman Fuel Cell Scooter in partnership with Suzuki.

Government-supported partnerships on site include the CENEX, the Centre of Excellence for low carbon and fuel cell technologies and the £9M Transport Innovation Network (iNet), which was launched in 2008 in partnership with emda, the East Midlands Development Agency.

The park is a key contributor to the Government's newly created Low Carbon Economic Area for Advanced Automotive Engineering
