Leopold Peiseler

Leo joined STEER in May 2025 and leads its work on carbon capture technologies, including flue gas and ambient air systems. In line with STEER’s core principles, the techno-economic modeling is closely informed by feedback from public and private stakeholders, helping to deliver up-to-date cost benchmarks for emerging energy technologies and hard-to-abate mitigation options. By elevating deep technical analyses to the system and market level, these insights support and unlock strategic investment opportunities. Leo holds degrees in engineering and policy from ETH Zurich and the University of Cambridge. During his PhD, he researched decarbonization and competitiveness strategies for lithium-ion batteries.
