A global boutique consultancy, we serve our clients in two ways: via client directed projects (TCG Consulting) and via various programs and studies (TCG Resources).

Catalytic Advances Program

The Catalytic Advances Program (CAP) is an information resource for research and development organizations in the chemical, polymer, and petroleum industries.

Via their annual membership, companies that join CAP combine their resources to jointly explore the world’s most promising catalytic technologies. Every year, the program publishes three in-depth technical reports that are written by leading scientists and experienced industry professionals. These reports examine new process technologies and the very latest in technical developments with topics selected by the membership.

REPORTS
Depending on their membership choice, either Full Member or Associate Member, CAP members may receive all three or just two of these reports as well as the weekly information bulletin known as CAP

COMMUNICATIONS
This bulletin, delivered via e-mail, provides the latest updates on technical breakthroughs, commercial advancements, noteworthy conference proceedings, and exclusive development opportunities.

ANNUAL MEETING
Membership also includes attendance at a CAP Annual Meeting, with dates, location, and topics selected by the membership. It is an opportunity to see the latest work presented by leading scientists.

For more information, including a “Membership Agreement” delineating the deliverables and how the membership works, please contact John Murphy at jmurphy@catalystgrp.com or +1.215.628.4447.
