Tryden Energy | Company Vision & Leadership

Our Name

Our Vision

(Tryden – /Try-dan/ Welsh; 1. Adj. meaning Electric Current)

We wanted a unique name, something ‘out-of-the-box’, bold and innovative. So we made up our own word. We started with a Welsh word that speaks to a live current and then turned it into something useable. That is what we do.

Enable Energy Independence, Resiliency and Security.

Our Mission

Bring to market and distribute smart energy products through experienced product development, aggressive supply chain management, and a deep network of distribution channels.

Our Logo

Our Purpose

Our Logo is a creative interpretation of the first turbine we designed and built. It also represents how we seek to capture unrealized possibility in renewable research, and make it available through creativity and a bold, agressive team.

To disrupt the current power market and enable sustainable, decentralized power production while upgrading Americas Antiquated grid infrastructure.

Upcoming Projects:

- Residential ORC Powerplant

- Crypto Ledger Nanogrid

- Micro-Biogas Generation

Our History

Three established Program Managers researched how to provide Americans with energy independence by makeing use of some free land, manure and seawater. Our research took us into the world of algae and ultimately, energy production. During our five years of research, interaction with ARPA-E, and California Energy Commission, we came to see there was a need to get these new technologies into the hands of builders. Tryden Energy is starting with Waste Heat - the largest free energy source in the US.
