A bit premature, methinks. I doubt that PWN would enjoy the protest crowd knocking on the door and checking up on them.

The brine management plan doesn't really affect the Shell situation. Shell will assess the PWN benefits and see how they fit with aims and budgets. If all is good, they'll implement regardless of what the plan says. Besides, I kind of see PWN as pre-encapsulation. There will still be some dross to deal with, just drastically less than there would be without PWN.

The plan seems a bit out of date in that it doesn't include PWN, but they haven't had access to the info. The Shell FS is the first real-world rigorous assessment of PWN vs CSG and is under wraps and possibly not signed off yet. Kind of hard for them to evaluate something that's largely under wraps.

I doubt that PWN will get BAT status unless it's awarded a contract. So, as always, the Shell deal is key to everything.

Cheers
