Dr. Alexander Fleischanderl

As Head of Green Steel, I lead Primetals Technologies’ Green Steel vision, strategy and technologies that support the steel industry’s transition to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Prior to this role, I was Technology Officer Upstream and Head of the Environmental Solutions business at Primetals Technologies. I’m a recognized expert for sustainable iron and steel production, covering waste gas cleaning, carbon footprint reduction, energy efficiency, by-product management and waste water treatment. Joining Primetals Technologies (then Siemens VAI) in 2005, I have held various positions within the company in technical sales, project management and R&D for the environmental, steelmaking and long rolling business. I hold more than 100 single patents and was honored as Siemens Inventor of the year 2013 and, with my team, won the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Innovation Award 2019. My career started at Austrian Energy and Environment in Vienna as process engineer in the field of emission control and water treatment for waste incineration plants. I completed my Ph.D. in process engineering in 1997 in the field of advanced gas cleaning for municipal waste incineration plants at the Technical University in Graz, Austria. In 1994 I obtained my master’s degree in Chemical Engineering and Business Administration at Johannes Kepler University in Linz, Austria. 0
