The situation has enabled Wasabi to implement its Kalina Cycle power generation technology as it exploits the changes the country is making in its energy policies. In recent months, Imparator has entered into a series of commercial arrangements with a number of strategic partners, including project developers in Turkey and specifically the purchase of an option to acquire an interest in an advanced geothermal project.
