About us
Our technology allows cost-competitive
and large-scale hydrogen production
Sakowin initially started making H2 through water electrolysis, but now produces sustainable hydrogen that is both cost-competitive and energetically efficient thanks to the use of biomethane or natural gas as feedstock. The main advantages of this progress technology are zero CO2 emissions and the ability to produce H2 on-site and on-demand with no capacity limit.
Our company
Sakowin Green Energy is a Deeptech founded in 2017 by Gérard GATT. Being convinced that hydrogen is an essential lever in the energy transition, Sakowin is today strengthening its role as a pioneer in the production of decarbonized hydrogen through (bio)methane plasmalysis.
Depending on the methane source, i.e. natural gas or biomethane, Sakowin’s technology is negative or neutral in CO2 emissions. The technology uses 5 times less electricity than water electrolysis to produce the same amount of hydrogen at a more competitive cost with no use of water – resource whose preservation is essential in the fight against the climate change.
Sakowin’s equipment is compact, modular, and stackable. As such, the technological brick can be integrated into existing industrial and gas infrastructures, for on-site & on demand hydrogen production, with a capacity that can be easily adjusted according to the need of the different end-users and their facilities.
Le carbone solide coproduit peut être vendu sur les marchés actuels et à grands volume du noir de carbone, principalement les pneus et les encres. The use of biomethane to produce hydrogen, which is not only decarbonized but also emission-negative, makes Sakowin’s technology a model of energy efficiency, circularity and sustainability.
Gérard Gatt:
Founder & CEO
Gérard holds a double degree in Computer Science and Business Administration from the Université Côte d’Azur and in Functional Economy and Sustainable Business Model Development from SKEMA Business School. He has over 35 years of professional experience, including 10 years in the USA, as Product Manager and International Marketing Director of CITRIX, contributing to the development of the software products known today as cloud computing and to the internationalization projects with more than 1,300 people recruited and the listing of CITRIX on the NASDAQ stock exchange. With a solid experience in the world of start-ups and an interest in the entrepreneurial world, Gérard co-founded the Sophia Business Angels Club and brings his expertise in strategy and business development to several consulting firms.
The Team
The Sakowin team is expanding to meet the challenges of developing a cutting-edge technology and the demands of rapid international growth.
Today, the team is mainly made up of researchers and engineers specialized in alternative energies, plasma, chemistry and physics.
Today, Sakowin is a team of more than 30 people driven by the common goal of providing a solution to the energy transition.
