What are Some Examples of Government Research Programs in Catalysis?
Several countries have established research programs aimed at advancing catalysis:
United States: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) funds research through its Basic Energy Sciences (BES) division, focusing on fundamental research in catalysis to address energy challenges. European Union: The EU's Horizon 2020 program includes projects on catalysis, aiming to develop sustainable chemical processes and renewable energy technologies. China: The Chinese government has invested heavily in catalysis research through programs like the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) to drive technological advancements. Japan: Japan's New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) supports research in catalysis for energy efficiency and environmental protection.
