Carl Mesters
Shell Chief Scientist Chemistry and Catalysis
The gas-to-liquids process really proved that Shell takes science seriously, because without the basic understanding and the long-term commitment, you wouldn't be able to build a process as efficient as this.
Carl is a leading innovator and authority on catalysis, central to many technical processes. His work with catalysts shows how long-term research can lead to the development of major new energy projects, such as Pearl GTL – and has even helped create the fuel for the first diesel-powered car to win Le Mans 24.
