In the race to decarbonize hydrogen production, most attention is directed toward electrolysis. However, French deeptech startup Sakowin is pursuing a different path: methane plasmalysis. By employing plasma to split methane molecules into clean hydrogen, Sakowin’s innovation offers a more energy-efficient and scalable route to low-carbon hydrogen—without emitting CO₂. The company is preparing to install its first industrial pilot at Swiss appliance manufacturer V-ZUG.
