Abstract
A power plant comprises a combustor for combusting first and second constituents to generate a gas stream, a turbine for rotation by the gas stream, a compressor to receive a first portion of the gas stream and provide compressed gas to the combustor, a recompressor configured to receive a second portion of the gas stream and provide compressed gas to the combustor, a generator to be driven by the turbine, and a methane reforming reactor configured to dry reform methane to provide the first constituent. A method of operating a power plant comprises operating a supercritical CO2 power cycle to turn a turbine, driving a generator with the turbine, extracting CO2 byproduct from the power cycle, reacting fuel and CO2 to produce a synthesis gas in a dry reforming of methane reactor, and mixing the synthesis gas with oxygen to execute a combustion process for the power cycle.
