It may not happen in our generation, but it will in the future,\u201d he said. \u201cSo we need to find alternate energy sources to maintain our lifestyle. Bioenergy is a sustainable source of energy, and you will never run out of this energy source as long as the sun is shining.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Boopathy\u2019s research, called lignocellulosic ethanol, is based on extracting sugar from agricultural waste that farmers would typically burn in the field, such as sugarcane leaf, so as to not compete with food sources. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt meant a lot to me to be selected as a keynote speaker, as people are recognizing my work as one of the important research topics in the world,\u201d Boopathy said. \u201cIt was nice to see Nicholls name was used in the conference and recognized by other scientists in the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The conference had approximately 400 delegates from 28 countries to share their latest research on bioenergy.
