What are Trident Fuels?
An elegant solution to a difficult problem.
Trident Fuels are Patent-Pending novel, hydrogen-based fuels made from water and air that can be used directly in internal combustion engines, jet engines, and fuel-cells for power and propulsion.

Made on-site where and when you need them!
In ancient Greek mythology, the Trident was the weapon that Poseidon used to wield the power of the ocean. Trident Fuels are the tools we use to wield that power today!
Learn about how Trident Fuels were born.
The Trident Fuels Story
As an Aeronautical Engineer, Pilot, and Officer in the US Air Force, Dathan, the inventor of Trident Fuels, in 2010 was flying combat missions in Afghanistan when Russia imposed a fuel embargo, causing a shutdown of flying operations at his base.
During the three weeks he was grounded due to the lack of fuel, Dathan began the process of inventing what would become Trident Fuels and Trident Energy Systems.
The goal was to prevent future fuel disruptions like the one experienced.
Ultimately, Dathan developed a versatile hydrogen-based fuel that could be produced anywhere using only water and air, is environmentally safe, suitable for combustion engines, jet engines, and fuel cells, achieves performance parody with fossil fuels, and most importantly, is cost-effective.
The Science
Trident Fuels consist of 3 main ingredients blended together in different ways depending on the type of engine or fuel-cell that will be used.
The ingredients of Trident Fuels are simple:
1. Hydrogen
2. Nitrogen
3. Carbon Dioxide
For uses where Hydrogen powers a fuel cell directly, the Nitrogen and/or the Carbon Dioxide can be omitted.
Hydrogen is sourced from water, while Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide are sourced from the air, making Trident Fuels the ideal environmentally safe fuel.
When used as a fuel regardless of whether by combustion, or by fuel-cell, the emissions are safe adding zero greenhouse to the atmosphere.
Additionally, Trident Fuels eliminate all the heavy metals and other harmful emissions from other potential fuels.
Trident Fuels address the problems of traditional Hydrogen as a transportation fuel and the environmental concerns of traditional Fossil Fuels to become the best of both worlds.
By integrating little-known or otherwise unavailable technologies developed and used exclusively for the US Military we achieve performance, efficiency, and cost milestones that other solutions simply can't match.
Why Trident Fuels?
The Advantage
Storage and Safety
Trident Liquid Fuel can be stored more efficiently and more safely than Hydrogen or Li-ion batteries.
For the same volume of a 103 kWh Li-Ion battery,
Trident Fuels contain 13-28x more usable energy.
For the same volume compared to Liquid Hydrogen,
Trident Fuel contains 2-4.5x more usable energy.
Storing hydrogen onboard a vehicle requires high pressure tanks with specific shapes.
This makes packaging equal storage volume to a Li-ion battery impossible.
Trident Fuel storage tanks can be nearly any required shape that fits any standard vehicle,
just like standard gasoline or diesel fuel tanks, or Li-ion batteries.
Trident Fuels are stored at only slight pressure,
with a 98% reduction compared to hydrogen!
Li-ion batteries catch on fire when exposed to oxygen,
Trident Liquid Fuels do not.
Hydrogen leaks out of your storage over time.
Trident Fuels do not.
Li-ion batteries degrade over time.
Trident Fuels do not.
Trident Fuels can be stored indefinitely with no fuel losses.
Why Trident Fuels?
The Advantage
Performance
Cars - Trucks - Airplanes
Trident Liquid Fueled Vehicles bring performance to new levels!
The increased energy density over hydrogen and batteries mean drastically greater range.
Trident Fueled vehicles will only need to fill up once per month for the average driver.
Lower Vehicle Weight over battery electric vehicles makes vehicles
safer, increases performance, and range.
Storing H70 Compressed Hydrogen at 10,000 psi raises safety concerns.
Trident Fueled vehicles remove that risk.
Fill time is drastically reduced for all types of electric vehicles.
Most Trident Fueled Combustion engine vehicles receive increased power & efficiency when converted.
Trident Fuels work with Aircraft Jet Engines, Traditional Gasoline and Diesel Engines, and Fuel Cell Electric vehicles.
Trident Fuels allow Aircraft to "Go Green" without sacrificing performance, range, or affordability
Why Trident Fuels?
The Advantage
The Environment
Trident Fuels offer a solution the biggest sources of harmful emissions for both electric and combustion vehicles.
Why Trident Fuels?
The Advantage
Cost of Fuel
The cost of Trident Fuels are extremely competitive compared to both electric and combustion engine vehicles.
Why Trident Fuels?
The Advantage
Cost of Infrastructure
Investing in Trident Fuel infrastructure is highly cost-effective compared to both e-fuels and fossil fuels.
While building new oil refineries or e-fuels plants can cost between $10 billion and $25 billion, Trident Fuel production is small-scale and cost-effective.
Simply set up small-scale production units where the fuel will be used, such as existing gas stations or at-home installations—no additional distribution or storage infrastructure needed.
