A system for combusting carbon-containing fuel includes a reactorfor simultaneously supporting oxidation of the fuel and conversion of COwithin the reactor. A metal oxide or metal is input to the reactor to convert the COto a mineralized COproduct. A cold trapis provided for capturing exhaust gases from the reactor and returning condensate to the reactor, and a gas pumpmaintains a desired vacuum or pressure within the reactor and the cold trap. Combustion products may be recycled to increase their energy value.
