A system that generates high pressure cryogenic gas includes a storage tank that contains a liquid cryogen and a feed line that supplies the liquid cryogen to a pressure pod. The pressure in the pressure pod gradually increases due to ambient heat to a first predetermined level. A regulator valve opens at the first predetermined level thereby directing the liquid cryogen to a heat exchanger where it is vaporized and directed back to the pressure pod to raise the pressure therein further. Once the pressure in the pressure pod reaches a second predetermined level, a dispense valve opens. The pressurized liquid cryogen is directed through the dispense valve to a vaporizer that vaporizes the high pressure liquid cryogen to a cryogenic gas that may be dispensed and stored in a tank.
