Page xv Cross-Cutting Lessons Learned from the Case Studies The first series of questions that this study addresses deals with how research-intensive companies are rethinking investments in environmental technologiesspecifically, where these companies are likely to invest, where they will not invest, and where the opportunities for public-private partnerships are. Where the Companies Are Likely to Invest The case-study companies are most likely to invest in technologies that improve yield, reduce emissions, increase product and process resource efficiency, create more environmentally benign products, and meet customer product requirements.

Report Roadmap The remainder of the report is organized as follows. First, to provide a larger context for the case studies so that the details of the cases are as meaningful as possible, Chapter Two provides a very brief overview of the literature on innovation theories, the major trends in R&D, environmental technology R&D investments, and public-private partnerships. Innovation theories provide a useful framework for thinking through how policy might influence the creation and diffusion of environmental technologies.

The most basic tier includes commodity chemicals, such as chlorine, benzene, and xylene, which are inputs to other chemical processes. The commodities tier is generally considered technologically mature. The intermediate chemicals, such as polyester films or fibers, begin with commodity chemicals to create chemicals used to manufacture other products, such as electronics, automobiles, furniture, and appliances. Specialty chemicals are often final products, such as paints, fertilizers, and fibers.
