About

Founded in 2017, Sakowin is a renewable energy company headquartered in Fréjus, France with approximately 11-50 employees specializing in Hydrogen.

Sakowin is a French deeptech company founded in 2017 that produces hydrogen and solid carbon by methane plasmalysis using microwave plasma. Its compact, modular and stackable units integrate into existing industrial and gas infrastructure for on-site, on-demand hydrogen production. The company states its process uses about five times less electricity than water electrolysis, consumes no water, and can be CO2 negative when combined with biomethane. Its standard 100 kW module is planned for 2025, and its clients are companies active in the energy transition. The company holds three filed or pending patents.
