Zusammenfassung:A power plant can provide increased power from fossil fuels with reduced increase of the carbon burden. The plant is moveable and is located in a fossil fuel field, either a new field or a "depleted" field." The CO2 generated from the plant is compressed to a concentrated fluid and is re-injected into the underground strata from which the fossil fuel is extracted. This reduces the CO2 emissions from the plant and uses the CO2 to enhance production from the fuel field. Enormous amounts of oil and natural gas can be recovered from fields considered "depleted." The infrastructure required to build and operate such carbon neutral moveable power plants can use known components. For "depleted" fields enhanced oil (or gas) recovery (EOR) procedures are highly developed and used throughout the world. The concentrated fluid can be a liquid that is re-injected.
