" Other distinguished presenters include
Denise Garth, VP, Membership + Development for ACORD, Deborah
Smallwood, VP, Insurance Practice from TowerGroup and Jaime Sguerra of
Guardian Life, who was recently named as one of the top 10 IT Leaders
in the Insurance Industry."
Greenwood made his remarks at a panel of experts and industry
representatives convened today.
BIO released a letter to Congressional appropriators requesting full
funding for programs authorized in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 that would
support research and development into advanced cellulosic ethanol production,
support private investment in modern biorefinery construction , and provide
loan guarantees and market incentives for rapid adoption of cellulosic ethanol
motor fuel. "By building
modern biorefineries and using biotech enzymes that convert crop waste and
switch grass to ethanol, we could significantly reduce our dependence on
foreign oil sources by producing between 25 to 50 percent of our
transportation fuel domestically," Greenwood continued.
Panelists at the event described how industrial biotechnology, often
called the third wave in biotechnology innovation, is using novel biotech
tools to identify or improve enzymes from microbes for use in converting the
hard, fibrous content of plants, primarily cellulose and lignin, to sugars.

A Revolutionary Opportunity: One-of-a-Kind Deep Ocean Expeditions Company Collaborates With James Cameron to Redefine the Boundaries of Corporate Sponsorship

Exclusive Event at Cameron's Digital Recording Studio on March 24th Will
Launch a 21st Century Deep Sea Initiative

LOS ANGELES , On March 24, 2005 corporate
visionaries with a passion for innovation will be introduced to sponsorship
opportunities never before available. The event, dubbed "Mission Control" is
presented as a chance for corporate America to reconsider the meaning of
creative sponsorship and have their message hold historic significance for
mankind through ocean exploration.
Scientists estimate that the world's deep oceans house anywhere from one
to ten million undiscovered species in a multiplicity of deep ocean habitats.

by BIO.
In his State of the Union address, President Bush voiced his support of
cellulosic ethanol technology and announced his intention to make this new
kind of ethanol practical and competitive within six years. Recently completed research
on enzymes makes possible large-scale production of cellulosic ethanol from
dedicated energy crops -- like switch grass -- or crop wastes such as corn
stover and wheat straw or rice straw -- at a cost competitive with petroleum-
based fuels.

Congress can improve our energy independence
by acting decisively to provide the funding and loan guarantees authorized in
last year's energy bill, speeding up the delivery of this vital fuel to the
pumps so consumers can begin using it."

Biotechnology Offers Groundbreaking Innovative Solution to Oil Addiction; Congress Can Hurry the Future

We need to rapidly move forward commercializing
these technologies for cellulosic ethanol production, which will strengthen
our energy and national security. If Congressional commitments are made now, cellulosic ethanol
could quickly replace much of the imported oil in America's domestic
transportation fuel supply. BIO members are involved in the research
and development of healthcare, agricultural, industrial and environmental
biotechnology products.
