The Sasol process was in competition with MTG. Although our process offered sizable economic advantages in New Zealand over the Sasol process, ours was unproven commercially, while the Sasol technology had been commercialized. We were asking the New Zealand Government to take our word that we could scale up from four barrels to 14,000 barrels per day. They did, and the commercial process has performed as well as predicted, and in a number of cases even better.
