Shahrukh Shamim, M.Sc.

Concrete is the world’s most used material—and one of its dirtiest. But does it have to be? Sharukh’s patented process transforms industrial by-products into supplementary cementitious materials that replace up to 30% of Portland cement. The payoff? A verified 27% CO₂ reduction per tonne of concrete. In BC, he built Canada’s first 200,000-tonne per year commercial facility, set to eliminate 170,000 tonnes of emissions annually. International pilots, including with Siam Cement Group, proved the technology’s reliability at scale. With global partnerships now advancing, projected reductions exceed 1 million tonnes by 2030, positioning Shahrukh’s work as a cornerstone in reimagining low-carbon construction worldwide.
