About
Mischa Repmann is a Lecturer at the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering, ETH Zurich. His research focuses on carbon capture and storage (CCS), particularly CO2 mineralization processes that integrate capture, storage, and utilization. He holds an MSc in Environmental Sciences from ETH Zurich and completed a PhD on CO2 mineralization using serpentine activation. Repmann has contributed to projects like SCCER-SoE (Swiss Competence Center for Energy Research) and the CARMA initiative, advancing CCS feasibility in Switzerland.
Education:
- MSc in Environmental Sciences, ETH Zurich
- Doctoral Thesis: 'Combined CO2 Capture and Storage by Mineralization'
Research Interests: Repmann’s work centers on designing scalable CO2 mineralization systems, converting flue gas emissions into durable carbonate products. He emphasizes combining capture, storage, and utilization to create economic and sustainable solutions. Key areas include serpentine activation kinetics, flue gas interactions, and process integration.
Publications & Projects: His recent works include studies on flue gas CO2 mineralization using thermally activated serpentine and kinetic modeling of dissolution processes. He also promotes CCS outreach through initiatives like the Carbon Storage Showcase.
Awards:
- Best Student award at IEA GHG R&D Programme Summer School, 2009
Outreach: Repmann actively communicates CCS science to policymakers and the public, addressing misconceptions through visual models and educational projects.
