Gert Jan Kramer, Shell Global Solutions


Gert Jan Kramer (1961) is a Principal Scientist at Shell Global Solutions.

He studied experimental physics at Leiden University, where he obtained a Ph.D. in solid-state physics.

In 1988 he joined Shell at its Amsterdam Technology Centre (STCA). He worked on a variety of topics, ranging from quantum chemical modelling of catalysis to reactor engineering. In the late 1990s he was part of a Shell / Daimler project team that developed a fuel processor for on-board hydrogen production for reformer fuel cell vehicles. This brought him into the field of hydrogen, in which he has provided technical support to Shell Hydrogen. In recent years his activities have broadened to technical assessment of a wide range alternative transport energy options, including electric mobility. As of 2010 he is Manager Energy Futures in Shell’s Projects & Technology organization.

Since 2007 he is the Shell representative on the Technical Committee of the Energy Technologies Institute, a large UK private-public partnership for the acceleration of low-carbon and renewable energy technologies.

In addition to his work at Shell, Gert Jan is also a part-time professor of Sustainable Energy at Leiden University. He is a member of the Energy Advisory Commission of the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and of the Scientific Committee of the EU Joint Technology Initiative for Fuel Cells and Hydrogen.

He has co-authored over 60 scientific papers and holds 12 patents.
