Immaterial raises £13.5m Series A+ led by SLB to design advanced materials for industrial decarbonisation

Immaterial Ltd, a Cambridge based advanced materials and engineering solutions company has raised £13.5m in Series A+ funding led by SLB to scale its proprietary monolithic metal-organic framework (m-MOF) platform and accelerate industrial decarbonisation solutions. The round included existing investors AP Ventures, Moeve, Jogchum Brinksma, and new investor Finindus.

Immaterial’s platform builds on Nobel Prize-recognised chemistry and applies monolithic MOFs combined with engineering design and machine learning to create scalable solutions for carbon capture, hydrogen storage, water harvesting, and energy reduction, aiming to reduce footprint, capex, and opex across industrial applications.

The funding will accelerate commercialisation through pilot projects in Europe and the U.S. and support roll-out from its multi-tonne manufacturing facility. The company leverages its proprietary Wet-AI methodology, combining digital discovery and materials design with green chemistry synthesis, to ensure its products meet industrial readiness standards while maintaining ultra-high storage performance and chemical stability.

The team includes CEO Mohammed Khan and Chief Scientific Officer and Founder Professor David Fairen-Jimenez, supported by a wider group of experienced industrial and scientific leaders.
