Problem
Current hydrogen production methods, such as steam methane reforming and electrolysis, are energy-intensive and can result in significant carbon dioxide emissions. The transportation and storage of hydrogen also pose logistical and cost challenges.
Solution
Sakowin provides a modular system for on-site, on-demand production of decarbonized hydrogen using a patented methane plasmalysis process. This technology decomposes methane into hydrogen and solid carbon without direct CO2 emissions, and when coupled with biomethane, can be CO2 negative. The compact, stackable systems can be integrated into existing industrial and gas infrastructures, enabling end-users to adjust hydrogen production capacity according to their specific needs. Sakowin's plasmalysis technology uses significantly less electricity than traditional electrolysis methods and does not consume water. The co-produced solid carbon has various applications and environmental benefits.
Target Audience
Sakowin's primary customers are system integrators and OEMs serving various markets, including industrial processes, oil and gas, and mobility, who require on-site hydrogen production solutions.
