Claim 19:
20. A scalable greenhouse gas capture system to allow off-loading CO2 captured in an on-board vehicle CO2 capture device, the system comprising:
one or more fuel armatures, each of the one or more fuel armatures including:
a fuel nozzle insertable into a vehicle fuel port,
a first pipe having one end portion connected to the fuel nozzle and another end portion connected to below grade fuel tanks, thereby to provide fluid communication therebetween, the first pipe configured to transport a fuel type to the vehicle via the fuel nozzle, and
a first meter, positioned between the fuel nozzle and the below grade fuel tanks, to measure an amount of fuel transported from one of the below grade fuel tanks to the vehicle;

one or more CO2 armatures, each of the one or more CO2 armatures including:
a CO2 nozzle sengageable with a vehicle CO2 port and, upon engagement with the vehicle CO2 port, configurable to create a seal between the CO2 nozzle and the vehicle CO2 port to prevent CO2 from leaking during off-load of captured CO2 from the on-board vehicle CO2 capture device through the vehicle CO2 port and into the CO2 nozzle, and
a second pipe having one end portion connected to the CO2 nozzle and another end portion and configured to transport captured CO2 therethrough from the CO2 nozzle to the another end portion;

a pump in fluid communication with the another end portion of the second pipe and configured to pump the captured CO2 from the on-board vehicle CO2 capture device;
a CO2 holding tank in fluid communication with the pump and having a capacity to store the captured CO2 from the pump; and
a second meter, positioned in a fluid pathway defined by the second pipe and the pump that allows CO2 to flow between the CO2 nozzle and CO2 holding tank, to measure an amount of the CO2 transported from the on-board vehicle CO2 capture device to the CO2 holding tank.
