In the particular case of LENR (rather than supercooled laughing gas), my suspicion is that the potentials have to do with buildup of electrons in dialectically insulated grains (e.g., grains with insulating impurities interposing between them). Once a potential reaches a certain level, the built-up charge will then discharge like a capacitor firing off. The absolute amount of charge involved in a single event may be minuscule, but on a microscopic scale I'm guessing that the strength of the field that arise before the discharge can often be astronomical.
