The production of fuels, plastics, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemicals consumes 10% of the energy produced worldwide, and is responsible for 5% of all greenhouse gas emissions. By developing ways to produce these useful chemicals using only abundant feedstocks and renewable electricity, Ryan’s research enables ways to offset these emissions. The aim is to produce renewable diesel, pharmaceuticals and a host of bio-derived specialty chemicals in a way that is cleaner, safer, and cheaper than conventional methods.

Both the Valle Catholic High School boys’ and girls’ basketball teams found replacement games over the past weekend.
The Warriors met with mixed results as the boys downed Jefferson R-7, 69-58, on Saturday evening bouncing back from Friday’s 97-69 loss to Farmington.
The Valle Catholic girls also suffered a loss to the Knights, 49-27.
Under the circumstances, with poor roads and frigid temperatures, it was simply a blessing to play on back-to-back days inside the cozy confines of Valle’s main gymnasium.
“It was good to see our guys bounce back and get a win on Saturday,” Valle Catholic head boys’ basketball coach Tyler Search said. “I’m happy we came out ready to play, and won all four quarters.”
