System of fuel vapor recovery and use
The systems and methods of fuel vapor recovery and use comprise a cryogenic condensation module and a fuel tank of a service station. The cryogenic condensation module comprises a cryogenic vaporizer that lowers the temperature of fuel vapors via condensation. The cryogenic condensation module also comprises a processing element that processes the fuel vapors that have not been condensed via the cryogenic vaporizer. The fuel tank is connected to the cryogenic condensation module by a ventilation pipe and a return pipe. The ventilation pipe is capable of displacing the fuel vapors to the cryogenic condensation module. The return pipe is capable of returning condensed fuel vapors to the fuel tank.
Systems and methods for transporting fuel and carbon dioxide in a dual fluid vessel
Embodiments of systems and methods for transporting fuel and carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) in a dual-fluid vessel thereby minimizing transportation between locations are disclosed. In an embodiment, the dual-fluid vessel has an outer shell with two or more inner compartments, positioned within the outer shell, including a first inner compartment for storing CO.sub.2 and a second inner compartment for storing fuel. The dual-fluid vessel may connect or attach to a transportation vehicle to thereby allow transportation of the fuel and CO.sub.2. Insulation may provide temperature regulation for the fuel and CO.sub.2 when positioned in the respective first and second inner compartments. One or more ports having an opening in and through the outer shell and a fluid pathway to one or more of the first inner compartment or the second inner compartment may provide fluid communication through the opening and fluid pathway for loading/offloading the fuel and/or CO.sub.2.

Scalable greenhouse gas capture systems and methods
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 a multi-function nozzle assembly including an exhaust nozzle corresponding to a vehicle exhaust port and a fuel nozzle for supplying fuel to a vehicle fuel tank. 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. An exhaust conduit may be configured to transport captured exhaust therethrough from the exhaust nozzle to an exhaust holding tank connected to and in fluid communication with the exhaust conduit.
