Hey OM, or anyone who understands the mechanics of the Ministry of Steel.

1. What is the relationship between Steel Research and Technology Mission of India (SRTMI) and government owned companies such as NMDC/NLC?

Their charter seems so much like the support that ECT would love to have in India

2. Is the current project something that would be done independent of SMTMI or in conjunction with?

I also read an interesting article in which Mukesh Kumar, director of the Steel Research and Technology Mission of India (SRTMI) stated:

"We are also in talks with an Australian company to develop technology where we can recover the entire heat of slags and produce power as well as eliminate need of precious water."

3. How close to ECT's technology do we think this statement is? While I understand we can use waste heat from a nearby powerstation, can it also be recovered from slags?
