Vision2020 Challenge Subcommittee
Vision2020 has launched an industry R&D competition to develop innovative high-priority technology applicable to a broad segment of the chemical industry. By offering financial incentives for breakthrough technology development, the Chemical Vision2020 Challenge will advance energy-consuming process technology and make it available to the entire chemical industry. See Utility Systems.
Chemicals Plus Subcommittee
The Chemicals Plus Subcommittee helped to establish Chemicals Plus to help chemical companies access the unique capabilities of U.S. National Laboratories, universities, research institutes, and other facilities. By building research networks, Chemicals Plus is helping solve research challenges in the chemical industry. Progressive, leading-edge companies are already participating. For more information, see Chemicals Plus.
Technology Subcommittees
Vision2020 Technology Subcommittees establish R&D collaborations in pre-competitive areas that will result in widespread implementation of continuous improvement and/or breakthrough technologies (hardware or software) to help chemical companies enhance their competitiveness and meet societal needs. Subcommittee members identify technical areas for R&D collaborations in pre-competitive areas defined by company interests and recruit program champions, facilitate formation of teams, and help the teams make progress. For a list of technology areas, see Active R&D.
