L2M – Market Validation and Commercialization Assessment of Sustainable Activated Carbon Produced Using a Novel Production Method

This project focuses on validating the market potential and commercialization pathway for a sustainable activated carbon product produced using novel pyrolysis of Brewer’s Spent Grain (brewery waste). The work will assess customer segments, value propositions, production feasibility, cost structure, and pilot-scale readiness for Maple Carbon Technologies Inc. The internship will generate evidence-based insights to support market entry, identify early adopters, evaluate competitive positioning, and define the commercialization strategy for launching bio-based activated carbon within environmental, water treatment, and sustainability sectors.
