A method and system of power generation comprises the steps of supplying carbon dioxide from a carbon-burning power plant 110 to a reservoir 101 and providing a flow of pressurised carbon dioxide from the reservoir 101 to a power generating turbine 107. Heat energy is supplied to the flow of pressurised carbon dioxide by an external source at heater 3. Heat energy may be in the form of reactants which may be added to the flow to initiate a reaction so as to generate heat. The reactants may be gaseous. The system may comprise a first source of substantially pure gaseous oxygen wherein the oxygen may be added, from the first source, to the flow. The system may comprise a second source of fuel wherein the fuel may be added, from the second source, to the flow. The second source may be a source of hydrogen. The second source may be a source of hydrocarbon. There may be a first and second turbine wherein only the second turbine receives a heated flow. |
