... -—by, , 1 impact on the entire $500-billion industry. In December ~ 996, a group of chemical industry organizations, including the American Chemical Society, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the Chemical Manufacturers Association, the Council for Chemical Research, and the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturers Association, produced a report entitled Technology Vision 2020.

... · Suggest means by which industry can leverage research results in fecleral programs, including those at other federal agencies, national laboratories, and other DOE offices. Although this report is focused on identifying opportunities for applied research, the committee wishes to express its strong reservations about government funding for applied research at the expense of projects that would not otherwise be pursued by individual corporations, such as longterm, high-risk, but potentially high payoff, theoretical research in catalysis or the development of tools that would accelerate advances in catalysis.
