History

The Institute of Petroleum

In 1913 the Institution of Petroleum Technologists was established by Sir Boverton Redwood, Bart and Mr Arthur Eastlake, A library was immediately set up so that knowledge could be shared between members In 1938 professionals allied to the petroleum industry, but not petroleum technologists, were also permitted to join and the name changed to The Institute of Petroleum.

The Institute of Energy (IOE)

1927 - The Institution of Fuel Economy Engineers IFEE (created 1925) and The Institution of Fuel Technology IFT (creaded 1927) merged to form The Institute of Fuel (IoF) – concerned with the selection and utilization of energy and all fuel resources. 1979 - The Institute of Fuel changed its name to The Institute of Energy (IoE) – because “our concern must now also include nuclear energy, renewable energy resources such as wave, wind and tidal power, solar and geothermal energy, the economics of energy conversion processes and of course, energy policy. The central role that energy plays in the economy is, at last, appreciated by politicians, administrators and even by ‘the man in the street’.

Energy Institute

July 2003 - The Institute of Petroleum and the Institute of Energy merged to become the Energy Institute
