Abstract
A method for operating a power plant to facilitate reducing emissions, wherein the power plant includes a gas turbine engine assembly and a carbon dioxide (CO) separator. The method includes increasing an operating pressure of exhaust gas discharged from the gas turbine engine assembly, separating substantially all the COentrained within the gas turbine engine utilizing the COseparator to produce a COlean airstream, reducing the operating temperature of the COlean airstream, and utilizing the cooled COlean airstream to facilitate reducing an operating temperature of air entering the gas turbine engine assembly.
