Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling the temperature and pressure of a cryogenic liquid methane storage unit are provided. The disclosed systems and methods generate methane gas from a reservoir of liquid methane stored within the methane storage unit, vent the methane gas through one or more outlet valves connected to the methane storage unit, and generate electric power using the vented methane gas. The generated electric power can then be used to initiating a cooling cycle, which reduces the temperature of said reservoir of liquid methane and reduces the pressure in said methane storage unit. Micro anaerobic digesters and methane storage units may be configured in a networked environment with a central controller that monitors remote units.

Abstract: There is provided an energy capture system. The system may comprise one or more rotor blades or solar panels and a compressor. The compressor is configured to be driven by the one or more rotor blades or solar panels to draw gas and to compress the gas, thereby producing a compressed material. The system further comprises a pressure receiver coupled to an output of the compressor and configured to receive the compressed material from the compressor. The system further comprises an energy recovery unit coupled to the pressure receiver and configured to receive the compressed material from the pressure receiver. The energy recovery unit is configured to generate mechanical and/or electrical energy using the compressed material.
