... BACKGROUND TO INDUSTRIES OF THE FUTURE Chapter 1 describes OIT's transition to a "market-pull" strategy, the unique characteristics of the IOF Program, the OlT materials programs, and the opportunities for developing crosscutting technologies. The nine TOF industries, which are all major energy consumers and major generators of wastes, are: agriculture, aluminum, chemicals, forest products, glass, metalcasting, mining, petroleum refining, and steel.

... Team members may include national laboratories, universities, and industrial firms. OIT projects have been extended beyond technology development to include product clevelopment and demonstration, as well as early commercialization, in partnership with industry.

... As carryovers from prior years, the AIM and CFCC programs are only now being fully integrated into OlT's market- pull strategy or coordinated with the technology road maps. The Industrial Power Generation Program includes the development and testing of materials to accelerate the development and commercialization of industrial power-generation equipment (e.g., advanced turbine systems tATS]

... should focus its materials technologies programs on a few high-pr~or~ty areas that would meet the needs of several member industries of the Industries of the Future Program and, when warranted, develop crosscutting programs to address these areas. Areas to consider include: corrosion, wear, high-temperature materials (including refractories)

From page 7...
... The Office of Industrial Technology should determine the highest priority needs in the technology road maps as a basis for identifying opportunities for crosscutting research. Industry experts should be engaged to define the materialsperformance requirements and operating environments.
