His fourth creative work entitled as Sugarcane Ethanol as an Alternate Fuel Source for Pakistan is a research-based work, which tends to explore sugarcane ethanol as viable energy source. The whole world is going through the worst of times characterized by energy and food crises with adverse implications for the global economies. Especially the economies of the third world countries have been hit hard by virtue of their sole dependence on consumption of oil, thereby increasing the import bill by causing the depletion of hard earned foreign currency reserves. For the first time in the history, the oil prices per barrel touched the psychological benchmark of $150. In this book, the learned author has analysed the possibility of using the sugarcane ethanol as an alternate fuel source along with the suggestions to make it a viable option. The book lays the foundation for future work on the subject.

Looking at his creative work at such a young age, it can safely be assumed that this young man has tremendous potential and will illumine a world with his knowledge. His name will, no doubt, be included among the prominent literary figures.
