A method of dual gas transport with a trailer having one or more tanks, comprising sequentially:
- receiving natural gas, at a first site, into a first compartment of each of the one or more tanks;
- transporting the trailer from the first site to a second site;
- delivering the natural gas, at the second site, out of the first compartment of each of the one or more tanks;
- receiving CO2, at the second site, into a second compartment of each of the one or more tanks;
- transporting the trailer from the second site to a third site;
- and
- delivering the CO2, at the third site, out of the second compartment of each of the one or more tanks, wherein controlling actuation of one or more valves associated with the first and second compartments is based on location information from a global positioning system on-board the trailer.
