A supply station and method are provided for charging an electric vehicle and filling a hydrogen-powered vehicle with hydrogen gas simultaneously or separately. The supply station includes a power supply unit, a storage battery system, an electricity-hydrogen conversion device, a hydrogen gas storage system, a hydrogen-electricity conversion device, a charger, and a hydrogen dispenser. The power supply unit and the hydrogen-electricity conversion device supply power to the storage battery system. The power supply unit and the storage battery system power the electricity-hydrogen conversion device. The electricity-hydrogen conversion device stores hydrogen gas in the hydrogen gas storage system. The hydrogen gas storage system provides hydrogen gas to the hydrogen-electricity conversion device. The charger charges an electric vehicle with electric power from the storage battery system. The hydrogen dispenser fills hydrogen gas into a hydrogen-powered vehicle.

The invention relates to a system and method for COcapture. The system includes a fleet of COproducing assets comprising a fleet of assets having at least two individual assets that produce COcontaining gas streams, and a set of modular COcapture units to capture the COfrom the COcontaining gas streams produced by the fleet of assets, wherein at least one of the individual assets is equipped with not less than two modular COcapture units, and at least one of the modular COcapture units is operated at more than one of the assets during the service life of the modular COcapture unit. The method for COcapture includes providing the fleet of assets and equipping them with a set of modular COcapture units. Advantage over current approaches is performance is optimized across a fleet of assets rather than at an individual site.

An isolation mechanism for isolating a submerged pump in a storage vessel, where the isolation mechanism comprises a primary valve member and a secondary valve member, which are both biased in a fail-closed position. The isolation mechanism allows for redundancy for safety and reliability, and can be operated externally of the storage vessel. Furthermore, the isolation mechanism comprises venting and purging devices for safe operation of removal and installation of the pump in the storage vessel.

A method for dispensing liquefied fuel, the method including: providing a non-petroleum fuel as a liquefied fuel to a storage tank; increasing pressure of the liquefied fuel to a target pressure using a pump disposed within the storage tank, where a first portion of the liquefied fuel is bypassed around or at least partially around a heat exchanger, and a second portion of the liquefied fuel is discharged to the heat exchanger, where the heat exchanger is configured to warm the second portion of the liquefied fuel. A dispenser is provided that incorporates a control system that allows coordinated fueling of one or more vehicles simultaneously, where the heat exchanger uses only the fuel itself without external refrigeration to manage final dispensing temperature and the fueling station does not include a storage subsystem disposed between the pump and the dispenser.
