Gill Scheltjens

CEO D-CRBN

Gill considers himself as a tech entrepreneur, active in the domain of plasma technology. In 2013, he finished a PhD in chemical engineering at the University of Brussels. 
After his PhD, he was responsible for a spin-off trajectory of plasma coating technology from a Flemish research institution called VITO (Flemish Institute for Technological Research) in Belgium. 
This spin-off, ‘Molecular Plasma Group’, was founded in September 2017 in Luxembourg, where Gill started as Technology Director and where he was responsible for scaling plasma technology from a lab environment towards industry. 
In 2021, Gill co-founded another green tech company, ‘D-CRBN’ (pronounced DECARBON), utilizing plasma to split CO2 in its original building blocks. It is a dream come true, to support D-CRBN on its mission to create a net zero emission society.
