Accelerating the Transition to Defossilised Materials of the Future
An insider impact investment fund backing the companies, technologies, and systems that replace fossil carbon at the source.
Defossilisation Development Fund - About
What We Do
Modern economies depend on fossil-derived materials across packaging, agri-food, personal care, construction, and industrial applications. These materials drive unavoidable Scope 3 emissions, resource dependency, and systemic climate risk.
DDF invests in companies that address this challenge at the source — replacing fossil feedstocks with renewable, circular, or CO₂-based alternatives and enabling industrial-scale deployment.
Our Investment Focus
We invest across four interconnected domains:
Raw Materials – Bio-based or CO₂-derived feedstocks
Advanced Materials – Net-zero or carbon-negative materials
Technologies – Biotech, enzymes, catalysts, digital platforms
Processes – Low-carbon, circular, and retrofit-ready production
Key sectors include agri-food, personal care, packaging, textiles, construction, and industrial materials.
DDF is built by experienced operators, investors, and technologists with deep roots in chemicals, industrial biotech, packaging, and corporate venturing.
We create value by actively supporting strategy, partnerships, governance, ESG implementation, and organizational development — accelerating scale-up while reducing execution risk.
