Abstract

Claims (62)

1. A system for providing customized renewable fuels to a user, comprising:

a first storage tank for storing a first renewable fuel;

a second storage tank for storing a second renewable fuel;

a communicator, receiving a first set of information from the user;

a controller, receiving the first set of information from the communicator and generating a second set of information by analyzing the first set of information;

a dispenser, connected to the first and the second storage tanks, selectively dispensing the first and the second renewable fuels to the user according to the second set of information; and

a quality assurance module, configured to control qualities of the renewable fuels, further including:

a monitoring unit to monitor statuses of the renewable fuels in the system; and

a testing unit to simulate the user's utilization of the renewable fuels.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first set of information is provided automatically to the communicator via a user-end communication device.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first set of information is received by the communicator via detecting a status of a vehicle.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first set of information is provided to the communicator by the user's manual input.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the renewable fuels to be dispensed are mixed before dispensing to the user and are stored in a pre-mixed storage tank.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the communicator provides a third set of information to the user.

7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a heat engine, configured to generate heat energy and electricity for the system and remove an objectionable constituent in the renewable fuels.

8. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a solar device, configured to convert solar energy into heat energy used for generating at least one of monoxide, hydrogen, and methanol.

9. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

an electrolyzer, configured to improve the purity of the renewable fuels and wherein the renewable fuels includes hydrogen.

10. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a third storage tank connected to the dispenser, for storing the first renewable fuel with higher purity than the first renewable fuel stored in the first storage tank; and

a fourth storage tank connected to the dispenser, for storing the second renewable fuel with higher purity than the second fuel stored in the second storage tank;

wherein the dispenser selectively dispenses the renewable fuels from the third and the fourth storage tank according to the second set of information.

11. A system for providing customized renewable fuels to a user, comprising:

a first storage tank for storing a first renewable fuel;

a second storage tank for storing a second renewable fuel;

a communicator, receiving a first set of information from the user;

a controller, receiving the first set of information from the communicator and generating a second set of information by analyzing the first set of information;

a dispenser, connected to the first and the second storage tanks, selectively dispensing the first and the second renewable fuels to the user according to the second set of information; and

a heat exchanger, configured to use a liquid air to absorb heat energy from gaseous renewable fuels and to transform, at least partially, the renewable fuels into a liquid state.

12. A method for providing customized renewable fuels to a user, comprising:

storing a first renewable fuel in a first storage tank;

storing a second renewable fuel in a second storage tank;

receiving a first set of information from the user via a communicator;

transmitting the first set of information to a controller;

generating a second set of information by the controller by analyzing the first set of information;

selectively dispensing the first and the second renewable fuels to the user according to the second set of information; and

controlling qualities of the renewable fuels by monitoring statuses of the renewable fuels and simulating the user's utilization of the renewable fuels.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the first set of information is provided automatically to the communicator via a user-end communication device.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the first set of information is received by the communicator via detecting a status of a vehicle of the user.

15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the first set of information is provided to the communicator by the user's manual input.

16. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

mixing the renewable fuels to be dispensed before dispensing; and

storing the mixed renewable fuels in a pre-mixed storage tank.

17. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

providing a third set of information to the user.

18. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

generating heat energy and electricity for the system by a heat engine; and

removing an objectionable constituent in the renewable fuels by the heat engine.

19. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

converting solar energy into heat energy to generate at least one of monoxide, hydrogen, and methanol.

20. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

improving the purity of the renewable fuels by electrolysis, wherein the renewable fuels includes hydrogen.

21. A method for providing customized renewable fuels to a user, comprising:

storing a first renewable fuel in a first storage tank;

storing a second renewable fuel in a second storage tank;

receiving a first set of information from the user via a communicator;

transmitting the first set of information to a controller;

generating a second set of information by the controller by analyzing the first set of information;

selectively dispensing the first and the second renewable fuels to the user according to the second set of information; and

absorbing heat energy, by a liquid air, from gaseous renewable fuels and transforming, at least partially, the renewable fuels into a liquid state, and wherein the liquid air is pressurized as at least one type of gas.
