Updates on two big recently-announced deals headline this week's greentech dealflow.

Yet, as below, plenty of new deals went down... even though many industry investors were hobbing nobs at the Cleantech Forum in San Francisco.

Of interest: no new money flowed into solar that we saw.

This week in industry deals:

• As we reported yesterday (see Imperium Renewables lands $214 million), Imperium has raised about double what the company was reportedly seeking. “With this capital the company is ready to become a global leader,” said Ira Ehrenpreis of Technology Partners, lead investor in Imperium. How does the company plan to spend its money? Read Cleantech.com's in-depth interview with CEO Martin Tobias: What’s needed for a biodiesel boom.
• Agricultural and biofuel giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) priced the $1.150 billion in convertible notes it's raising, first reported last week. Due in 2014, the notes will pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 0.875 percent per year. ADM plans to use the proceeds to buy back $370 million of its common shares and use the balance for general working capital. In addition, approximately $299 million of the proceeds from the transactions will be used to fund convertible note hedge transactions that ADM expects to enter into with one or more of the initial purchasers of the notes and/or their affiliates. Remaining proceeds will be used for working capital, the company said.
• Clean Energy Systems, a Rancho Cordova, California–based provider of zero-emissions power plant technology, has raised $13 million in Series A funding from Paxton Corp. and Quadrise Canada Corp.
