Program Deliverables… • Stay informed with a timely and focused “window” into the market place of new developments c in catalysis CAP • Weekly emails capturing the latest global commercial and scientific catalysis developments are Communications annotated with unique insights, observations and recommendations for competitive advantage. c • Gain a competitive advantage through confidential “state -of- the art” studies in catalysis CAP • Three (3) state-of-the-art reports are produced annually covering R&D and commercial Technical development in catalysis. These exclusive reports are authored and peer reviewed by the world’s Reports leading scientists. Topics are determined by the membership (via ballot) and report scope/content is shaped by member input. CAP Liaison • Initiate joint R&D with another CAP member company Directory • Contact information is supplied for the essential point-person at each CAP member company • Initiate a drill down study to find your unique opportunity ActiProject • As needed, emails containing exclusive, members-only corporate opportunities are offered to Communications share R&D and strategic partnerships for joint technical and/or commercial development in new technologies/businesses. Additionally, CAP members may also create their own ActiProjects to solicit to the membership. CAP Annual • Meet CAP members face-to-face to build camaraderie, discuss issues and initiate collaborative Meeting (JV/alliance) opportunities • An informal, collaborative ( JV and alliance building) event is held once a year, exclusively for members, alongside one of the industry’s leading scientific platform conference(s). 4
Proven Benefits of CAP R&D Technical Reports… c • Three (3) state-of-the-art R&D technical reports are produced exclusively for members each year covering R&D and commercial development in catalysis. Exclusive c • Topics are determined by the membership (via ballots) • Report scope/content is also shaped by member input (via TOC feedback ) Member Input • Authored by the world’s leading scientists to include the relevant emerging technologies and also discuss the technical hurdles that must be overcome to achieve commercialization. Experts • Peer reviewed by experts from industry/academia and edited by TCGR to ensure high quality and standards Quality 5
Recent Technical Report Topics Include… c ● 2019: Advances in Catalyst Supports II, Circularity in Chemicals, and Advances in Electrocatalysis and Photocatalysis for Chemicals Production ● 2018: Advances in Catalyst Synthesis and Characterization, Advances in Catalyst Modelling and c Simulation, and Catalytic Conversion of Syngas to Chemical Products III ● 2017: Catalytic Process Scale-Up II, Advances in Octane Enhancement, and Advances in High Throughput Screening (HTS) Methodologies ● 2016: Advances in Olefin Co-monomer and Polyolefin Production, Advances in On-Purpose Technology for Mono- and Di-Olefins, and Recent Progress in Zeolitic Membranes for Gas Separations and Catalysis ● 2015: Advances in Aromatics Production, Advances in Methanol to Products, and Advances in Refinery Cracking Catalyst and Processes II ● 2014: Dehydrogenation and Oxidative Dehydrogenation II, Advances in Olefin Purification via Catalysis and Sorbent Materials, and Advances in Catalyst Supports State-of-the-Art CAP reports identify opportunities in catalysis, but they are also a valuable addition to HR as training materials. A full listing of the “library” of reports completed in CAP’s 25 years of operation is available upon request. 6
Study Topics Under Consideration for 2020 and Beyond … c The following topics, plus those to be provided as “write - in” ideas by members, are under consideration as potential studies in 2020 (and beyond): c ● Catalysis for Specialty Chemicals, Intermediates and Agrochemicals ● Advances in Selective Oxidation ● Catalyst Deactivation, Regeneration and Disposal II ● Advances in Second Generation (2G) Drop-in Biofuels ● Advances in Non-Noble-Metal Based Catalysts for Reforming and Conversion of Hydrocarbons ● Advances in Digitalization of Catalysis: The Role of IR 4.0 in Revolutionizing Catalysis ● 2D Materials in Catalysis ● Catalysts, Catalytic Processes, and Materials for Renewable Energy Production and Storage ● Frontiers in Catalysts III: The Main Hurdles in Modern Catalysis Topics are determined by the membership (via ballot), exclusively for the membership. 7
Members Benefit from CAP Communications by Staying Informed and Prepared… c • Weekly email updates provide a timely and c focused “window” into the market place of Global Developments new developments in catalysis and process technology Global Developments Member Input • Content is determined by member input from Quarterly Conference Calls, Annual Meetings, Member Input Report ballots, etc. TCG Notes • TCG provides insights, analyses and further commentary on selected developments of TCG Notes importance CAP Communications 8
