A low-emission nozzle and receptacle coupling for cryogenic fluid is disclosed. A nozzle includes a body defining a chamber through which the cryogenic fluid is to flow. The body includes an outer shell that includes a front end. The nozzle includes a fixed sleeve coupled to the outer shell and a rotating sleeve extending over the front end and configured to rotate relative to the body. The rotating sleeve is configured to couple to the receptacle via locking teeth that rotatably slide into respective cam slots. The nozzle includes a redundant locking mechanism coupled to the outer shell. After the rotating sleeve has rotated to couple to the receptacle, the redundant locking mechanism is configured to actuate to engage and prevent further rotation of the rotating sleeve to lock the nozzle to the receptacle.
