Apparatus and methods for collecting and/or for recapturing gases, materials, and/or substances, and for generating electricity and/or electrical power from the same

An apparatus, comprising:

• a power management computer;
• a fuel recapture device, wherein the fuel recapture device further comprises equipment for collecting a leaked or spilled fuel by suction, vacuuming, or skimming, wherein the fuel recapture device collects, captures, recaptures, or recovers, the leaked or spilled fuel;
• a fuel storage device, wherein the fuel storage device stores the leaked or spilled fuel collected by the fuel recapture device;
• an electrical power generator, wherein the electrical power generator generates electrical power from or with the leaked or spilled fuel collected by the fuel recapture device;
• a power storage device or a power pass-through system, wherein the power storage device stores the electrical power, or wherein the power pass-through system provides power to an electrical system, device, or equipment;
• an electrical power supply system, wherein the electrical power supply system provides at least some of the electrical power stored in the power storage device, or provides at least some of the electrical power provided via the power pass-through system to a public electrical energy grid, or to a private electrical energy grid;
• and
• a meter, wherein the meter reads, records, or measures, information regarding an amount or quantity of the at least some of the electrical power provided by, transferred by, or supplied by, the electrical power supply system;
• wherein the power management computer processes information regarding the amount or quantity of the at least some of the electrical power provided by, transferred by, or supplied by, the electrical power supply system.
