It involves support from AMEC Process & Engineering, Kvaerner Oil, BP Amoco - Simon can give you ball-park figs (Please Simon). JACKSON FOUNDATION (from Jackson Engineering) (I think we can say that 30% of this will be in the general climate change area) - this will amount to 800K (for climate) over the next 5 years) FUJI Corporation (this is "pledged" - no contract yet - but I hope will amount to at least 1000K over 5 years). Ask Janice to have quick run through our list to give to a value - don't forget Jean's EC and Powergen wind energy work.
