Sakowin
We are driven by the urgent need to decarbonize human activities through innovative energy solutions. At the heart of our mission lies hydrogen production a vital component of the energy transition. To ensure its success, hydrogen must be both CO₂-free and cost-competitive.
Traditional methods, like steam reforming, offer affordability but emit high levels of CO₂, posing significant challenges. We prioritize groundbreaking approaches, such as Methane Plasmalysis, which decarbonizes gas at its source, delivering a fast, cost-effective, and sustainable solution that integrates seamlessly with existing systems.
Our vision is clear:
Build an energy system free from greenhouse gas emissions.
Ensure economic viability for widespread adoption.
Create solutions that regenerate resources for future generations.
By combining innovation and practicality, we aim to redefine energy production, focusing on efficiency, balance, and immediate impact.
What guides us…
Sakowin was created in 2017 to make its contribution to the energy transition with the mission of taking an active role in the decarbonization of human activities. Hydrogen is one of the most relevant solutions for accelerating decarbonization, however, it is not accessible in its natural state. That’s why Sakowin has focused on the manufacture of hydrogen-powered equipment, in the firm belief that innovation is the key to achieving the 2050 goal.
Initially, the research teams opted for a particular patented electrolysis technology, namely seawater resonance.
However, after an in-depth study, it turned out that the patented technology had not proved sufficiently reproducible to be industrialized.
Rather than going on and on in this direction, and losing sight of the urgency of proposing concrete solutions in 2021, the scientific team posed the case in a factual and pragmatic way to answer the question, « How can we produce decarbonized hydrogen in large quantities, close to the possible demand? » taking account of three key factors: volume, energy efficiency, circularity.
VOLUME
Gigantic volumes. Carbon combustion accounts for 40% of our current energy capacity, which we need to free ourselves from. By 2050, we will need to increase our energy capacity by 40%. Therefore, we need to find 80% of decarbonized energy for our energy mix. Faced with such a challenge, we need to use a natural resource with no conflicts of use, such as methane.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Energy efficiency is central topping the use of carbon energy must be offset by energy systems that are far more efficient than what we’ve been using up to now. Using the molecule that requires the least energy to produce a decarbonized energy carrier like hydrogen is the starting point. This molecule is methane, which, from a physical point of view, requires the least energy to get rid of its carbon molecule (37.5kj/mol H₂).
CIRCULARITY
Circularity which implies not only generating zero waste, but also using carbon to slow global warming by returning it to the soil in solid form, to increase water retention and enable plants to grow better, to increase nature’s capture of CO₂.
It then became clear that (bio)methane plasmalysis would be the technological solution to address the whole issue.
