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 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.
Method for providing pressurized gas to consumers and corresponding compressor arrangement at variable suction conditions
The invention relates to a method for providing pressurized gas from a source of liquefied gas to a consumer (8), wherein vaporized gas is supplied from the source of liquefied gas (1) through a main input line (2) to a compressor arrangement (300) for pressurizing the vaporized gas, the compressor arrangement (300) comprising a plurality of compressor modules (3, 5, 31, 51), each compressor module being able to operate independently from any other compressor module of the compressor arrangement (300), one or more of the compressor modules (5, 51) of the compressor arrangement (300) can be bypassed, and wherein gas is conducted through only a part or all of the compressor modules depending on at least one of pressure level, temperature level, mass flow and composition of the gas to be provided to the consumer (8).
