Goldman Sachs invested $30 million in Iogen Corporation, the leader in cellulose ethanol technology. Iogen is the only company currently operating a demonstration facility that converts agricultural waste like straw and corn stalks into ethanol. The funds will allow Iogen to accelerate its commercialization program. A joint USDA and DOE study found that US land resources could produce enough biomass to displace 30% of current US gasoline consumption through cellulose ethanol.

IOGEN GETS BOOST FROM GOLDMAN SACHS
Wall Street firm invests $30 million in cellulose ethanol leader
Ottawa – Iogen Corporation announced today that Goldman Sachs & Co. of New York has
invested $30 Million (CDN) in its renewable cellulose ethanol technology. .
“Goldman is the first major Wall Street firm to make a commitment to cellulose ethanol,”
says Iogen CEO Brian Foody. “Renewable fuels like cellulose ethanol are one of the main
options President Bush recently highlighted to reduce America’s dependence on foreign oil.
Goldman’s investment gives it a minority stake in Iogen, the only company to be operating a
demonstration facility that converts agriculture materials like straw, corn stalks, and
switchgrass to ethanol. Goldman joins the Royal Dutch/Shell Group as a major investor.
The funds will be used to accelerate Iogen’s commercialization program.
Cellulose ethanol will allow a much greater expansion of U.S. domestic alternative fuel
supply because there is a substantial untapped existing biomass resource.
A joint study by the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Energy (USDA and DOE) has
concluded that the land resources of the US could produce a sustainable supply of biomass
sufficient to displace 30% (60 billion gallons of renewable fuel per year) of the country’s
present gasoline consumption.
Cellulose ethanol is a fully renewable, advanced biofuel that can be used in today's cars. It
is one of the most cost effective ways to reduce gasoline consumption and greenhouse gas
emissions from automobiles.
About Iogen Corporation:
Iogen is a leading biotechnology firm specializing in cellulose ethanol – a fully renewable transportation fuel
made from agricultural residue that can be used in today's cars. The Company also develops, manufactures and
markets enzymes used to modify and improve the processing of natural fibres within the textile, animal feed, and

Lee Raymond will continue as CEO of Exxon Mobil, while Lou Noto of Mobil will become Vice President. Exxon and Mobil descended from Standard Oil, which was broken up in 1911. The merger combined Exxon, formerly Jersey Standard and Esso, with Mobil, formerly Socony and Vacuum, to gain synergies in operations, capital productivity, and technology. The Federal Trade Commission approved the merger with requirements that some gas stations and assets be divested. Exxon shareholders received 70% of the combined company while Mobil received 30% and a 15-25% premium, seen as fair value sharing. The market reacted positively to the value-creating merger.

Block Project - THE REAL Finished Draft

Abram Edgar

ExxonMobil's key operations processes include exploration, extraction, refining, and distribution of oil and gas. In exploration, advanced technologies help ExxonMobil locate new sources of crude oil underground. Extraction involves drilling wells and pumping crude oil to the surface. Refining transforms crude oil into finished products like gasoline and diesel. ExxonMobil then distributes these products worldwide for consumer and commercial use. However, ExxonMobil faces challenges from declining oil prices, increasing environmental regulations, and global economic uncertainty that threaten its profitability.

The document summarizes the data reduction process for astronomical images of interacting galaxies. The data was reduced using Python, IRAF, SExtractor and AstroimageJ. This included overscan subtraction, bias subtraction, flat field correction, aligning images, combining images by color-band, and performing sky subtraction using scripts. The images were of the interacting galaxies NGC 3310 and NGC 2798/2799. NGC 3310 recently collided with a smaller galaxy, creating tidal loops and stimulating star formation. Previously unnoticed tidal loops in NGC 3310 were discovered after reducing the data.

A Provenance Model for Quantified Self Data

Andreas Schreiber

The document proposes a provenance model for quantified self data based on the W3C PROV standard. It describes motivations like understanding how QS data is produced, processed and accessed. The PROV standard concepts of entities, activities and agents are used to model common QS workflows like input, export, request, aggregate and visualize. Examples demonstrate exporting data from an app and visualizing with a script. The model could be used to standardize provenance for developers and allow traceability, reproducibility and analytics of QS data.

pooja Devi(Guru Nanak dev University)

Wal-Mart sourced $750 million in seafood annually by 2007, with its seafood business growing 25% per year. However, global fisheries output had declined significantly. Wal-Mart's vice president of seafood and deli believed ensuring a sustainable seafood supply was the biggest long-term issue. In response, Wal-Mart adopted a sustainability strategy in 2005 focused on 100% renewable energy, zero waste, and only selling environmentally sustainable products. The company worked to certify its seafood through the MSC program and aimed to address critics who argue its sustainability initiatives deflect from needed workplace and environmental policy changes.

CASE STUDY Renzo Rey de Castro Strayer University Professor Melvin Murphy BUS-475 August 1, 2016 Nature, structure and type of products BP plc., formerly referred to as the British petroleum company, is among the world’s largest energy companies. It is a vertically integrated oil and gas company. Through two main operating segments, the upstream and downstream segments, it finds, develops, and produces essential sources of energy and converts them to products that people need. More comprehensively it operates in all areas of oil and gas production. This includes exploration, production, refining, distribution and marketing of oil and oil products. Besides that, it as well is involved in petrochemicals, power generation and trading with interests in renewable energy, biofuels and wind power. The company generally creates value from the hydrocarbon value chain. Besides having interests in alternative sources of energy such as wind and other renewable energy, the corporation as well has research facilities, besides wind farms that are aimed at continually finding new methods of producing environmental friendly energy and methods of ensuring that even those energy sources that are mainly not environmental friendly are produced in the most environmental friendly way. The company operates in six continents and thus needless to say, it is a Multinational Corporation. Its services and products are available in more than 100 countries across those continents where it operates. It was established in the year 1908. It is until the change of Persia’s name to Iran that it became Anglo-Iranian Oil Company in 1935 having been Anglo Persian Oil Company there before since inception. It became British Petroleum in 1954 and later on in the 21st century became just BP (The History of the British Petroleum Company, 2 Vols. 2012).
