<p>The invention relates to an environmentally friendly method for generating energy from natural gas. Through the combustion of the natural gas with a mixture comprising substantially oxygen and CO2, a number of advantages are achieved with regard to the emission of CO2 and NOx. According to the invention, the CO2- rich product gas is injected into a natural gas reservoir from which natural gas has been extracted. By the underground replacement of natural gas by CO2, a pressure drop in the natural gas reservoir can be controlled, so that subsidence is prevented. Additionally, in this manner, the emission of CO2 is reduced or even wholly prevented.</p> |
