GR1 SEEKS CATALYTIC COMBUSTION PROPOSALS The Gas Research Institute's Basic Research Division is soliciting proposals to under- tulle a progra~ of fundamental.scientific research on the catalytic combustion of methane. The progr~m~ould involve research on the primary physical and chemical pro- cesses Ed the details of surface phenomena involved. The proposed research program is expected to include basic s6ientific investigations on the molecular level aspects of reacting surface species and intermediates and the funS~ental bahavior of catalytic surfaces. Final date for proposal submissions is Dec. 1. - ~uaZifled organizations ~y obtain a cop~ of GRI's request %or propos~s from: Gas ~ssearch Institute~ Basic ~esearch ~ivislon~ At~n~ ~obert ¥o Jerauskas~ Mst. WASTE TO ENERGY PLAN (cont. from p. 8) The technologies selected for support will be those that fill gaps in the.range of ~aste-to-energy applications and/or hold promise of significant improvements in econ- omy and efficiency over proven technology. They will not initially be expected to function as an integral element of a community's solid waste management system. The fiscal 1981 budget for demonstration activities is $10 million. Another $15 ~llion will be used for grantS, cooperative agreements end procurement contracts to accelerate R&D in the waste-to-energy area. "The program ~r~ll encourage unsolicited proposals to sti~ulate and encourage innovative approaches and design," the plan says. ~m. P~ge 12 0ctcber 20,
