Scientists Meet Scientists – TUM-IAS Wednesday Coffee Talk by Dr. Anne-Mette Cheese and Dr. Oliver Czuprat: “A Successful Carbon Management & Hydrogen Strategy – Field Applications Incorporating Latest Technical Research”
Events, WCT |
On February 7, 2024, Dr. Anne-Mette Cheese and Dr. Oliver Czuprat (Wintershall Dea GmbH) will talk about “A Successful Carbon Management & Hydrogen Strategy – Field Applications Incorporating Latest Technical Research.”
Abstract:
Wintershall Dea has ambitious climate targets and is aiming for Net Zero emissions by 2030 with strong commitment to sustainable development, transparency, and a low-carbon future. As Wintershall Dea builds on its gas portfolio by developing hydrogen capabilities, CCS will be an essential element of the sustainable development plan by providing a mitigation pathway for Scope 3 emissions as defined in the Paris Agreement. CO2 injector wells play a central role in CCS as they connect the CO2 capture facilities topsides with the geological storage sites downhole, mostly depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs or saline aquifers.
Previous laboratory studies have shown that the carbonation reactions upon exposure of wellbore cement to CO2 often cause destabilization and formation of fractures. However, published findings in the literature vary greatly, owing to the multitude of methods used to prepare cement samples for studying their interaction with corrosive environments. In the course of the EUDP-coordinated research project Greensand Phase II, a systematic trial matrix of cement types and additives have been mixed and cured in sample cells under actual downhole conditions.

THE TUM-IAS WEDNESDAY COFFEE TALKS
Every Wednesday after lunch, it's all about a new topic - current research highlights at TUM, insights into the work of our Fellows from all over the world, sometimes even topics not usually found at TUM, such as history or theology.
The talks held online start every Wednesday during TUM lecture time at 1:00 p.m. Everyone is welcome - TUM researchers of all levels, students, visiting scholars, and anyone interested!
Each final Wednesday of the month, a topic related to the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals will be featured as a part of the Seminar Series of European Universities on Sustainability, a new initiative of the TUM-IAS in partnership with universities across Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe.
