A New Dawn Towards A Clear Blue Sky

It's not easy to pick one out from the backbone of all the members that came with the legacy buisness, APL or PLAN for recognition, I'll leave that for the Monthly picks.

I would like to give recognition to one that stays behind the scene,
Dr. Roger Mah, Vice President of Research and Development.

A world class Scientist who was published in what's considered to be the Holy Grail of science journals for research pertaining to the first novel metal-organic framework (MOF) to capture one tonne of CO2 a day could ultimately lead to the mitigation of anthropogenic emissions in the global fight against climate change.

This MOF has the potential to be game-changing for carbon capture, along with other gas separations.

His undergraduate degree in Chemistry started at the Fort Mac Oil Sands. Roger received his PhD in Chemistry from the University of Calgary specializing in metal-organic framework (MOF) materials for carbon capture applications which included assessing the implementation strengths, weaknesses, and barriers of MOF commercialization.

Roger then joined Carbon Management Canada and the Carbon Capture and Conversion Institute as a Mitacs Accelerate Fellow.

For two years, he assessed the innovation ecosystem for carbon capture utilization and storage including sequestration in the built environment with companies such as CarbonCure, Carbicrete, and Solidia.

He evaluated gaps and barriers for technology developers taking their technologies from lab/bench towards commercialization and step-gates along the technology readiness level ladder.

Roger was previously the CEO of ZoraMat Solutions where he led efforts in commercializing a MOF for carbon capture and received multiple accolades such as the 2018 Mitacs Change Agent Award, the 2019 GreenSTEM fellowship and a 2020 CleanTech Emerging Leader Award.

Roger is the co-inventor of a technology from the University of Calgary that is currently being evaluated for commercialization at LafargeHolcim's cement plant in Richmond, British Columbia.
