Abstract

An apparatus, including a power management computer; a fuel recapture device which collects leaked or spilled fuel by suction, vacuuming, or skimming; a fuel storage device which stores the leaked or spilled fuel; an electrical power generator which generates electrical power from or with the leaked or spilled fuel; a power storage device or pass-through system, an electrical power supply system which provides at least some of the electrical power stored in the power storage device or pass-through system to a public electrical energy grid or to a private electrical energy grid; and a meter which reads, records, or measures, information regarding an amount or quantity of electrical power provided, transferred, or supplied, by the electrical power supply system. The power management computer processes information regarding the amount or quantity of the electrical power provided, transferred, or supplied, by the electrical power supply system.
