L2M –Sustainable alternative supplementary cementitious materials using oat husk

This project explores innovative ways to convert agricultural residues (i.e., oat husks) into sustainable construction materials. Specifically, the research focuses on developing and validating cement replacement products derived from agro-waste, which can help reduce the carbon footprint of concrete, a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions.
The intern will work closely with both academic researchers and industry partners to assess the market potential of these alternative materials. The project aims to support the commercialization of a low-carbon supplementary cementitious material (SCM) by refining the product’s value proposition, identifying key stakeholders, and developing a go-to-market strategy.
By combining scientific testing with business strategy development, this initiative supports Canada’s clean technology sector and contributes to more sustainable infrastructure development.
