The document discusses the Sustainable Bioproducts Initiative (SUBI), a team of university and industry partners studying regular biomass production for biofuels using existing infrastructure. SUBI focuses on feedstocks like energycane and sweet sorghum. It engages audiences through field days, a pilot plant, webinars, workshops, and symposiums on topics related to biofuels. SUBI also partners with local media, runs educational camps and programs, and participates in events like National Bioenergy Day to raise awareness of biofuels research.
