Scalable greenhouse gas capture systems and methods to allow a user to off-load exhaust captured in an on-board vehicle exhaust capture device and to allow for a delivery vehicle or other transportation mechanism to obtain and transport the exhaust. The systems and methods may involve one or more exhaust pumps, each with an exhaust nozzle corresponding to a vehicle exhaust port. Upon engagement with the vehicle exhaust port, the exhaust nozzle may create an air-tight seal between the exhaust nozzle and the vehicle exhaust port. A first pipe may be configured to transport captured exhaust therethrough from the exhaust nozzle to. The captured exhaust may be at least temporarily stored in an exhaust holding tank connected to and in fluid communication with the first pipe

The invention can include a device and method for distributing a fluid in an industrial facility that comprises a fluid distribution pipe, a discharge pipe, a distribution valve that is positioned on the distribution pipe and controlling the distribution of fluid between an upstream area and a downstream area, a discharge valve positioned on the discharge pipe, and measuring means for measuring, in real time, a characteristic parameter of the distribution of the fluid within one of the pipes. A module is also included for calculating a sliding threshold value of the characteristic parameter and means configured to control the partial gradual opening or closing of the discharge valve depending on the result of the comparison of said sliding threshold value with an instantaneous value of the characteristic parameter, in order to improve reliability of the industrial facility.

A motor vehicle with a pressure vessel system includes at least a first pressure vessel arranged in a first region of the motor vehicle and at least one second pressure vessel arranged in a second region of the motor vehicle having a lower intrusion probability than the first region. Fuel is preferentially removed first primarily from the at least one first pressure vessel. When the lower limit of fuel level or fuel temperature is reached in the at least one first pressure vessel, fuel is removed from the at least one second pressure vessel. If the fuel supply rate from the at least one first pressure vessel is lower than an overall fuel supply rate for an energy converter, fuel is removed from the at least one second pressure vessel to meet the overall fuel supply rate needed by the energy converter.

A filling station comprises a filling device for an automated filling of a gas bottle inserted in the filling station and a filling device for refueling a motor vehicle, wherein the filling device for an automated filling of a gas bottle inserted in the filling station is arranged adjacent to the filling device for refueling a motor vehicle.

A hydrogen filling system includes a hydrogen filling enable-disable determining device. The hydrogen filling enable-disable determining device is configured to acquire detection information detected by a vehicle and determine whether to enable or disable hydrogen filling to the vehicle at a hydrogen filling device provided in a hydrogen filling area of a hydrogen station, based on the detection information.

A cryogenic cooling system includes a gas circulation source; a cryocooler that cools a cooling gas; a cooling gas flow path that causes a cooling gas to flow from the gas circulation source to the object to be cooled; and a control device that controls the gas circulation source so as to execute initial cooling of the object to be cooled according to a prescribed flow rate pattern. The prescribed flow rate pattern is predetermined such that the cooling gas flows through the cooling gas flow path at a first average flow rate, and the cooling gas flows through the cooling gas flow path at a second average flow rate. The second average flow rate is smaller than the first average flow rate such that the cooling capacity of the cryogenic cooling system is increased.
