Abstract
The invention relates to a method for decreasing the level of carbon dioxide present in the fumes discharged by a power generator burning a mixture of a combustive agent and of a fuel containing hydrocarbons, wherein a gaseous mixture comprising at least part of said combustive agent and at least part of said fumes is compressed, all or part of the carbon dioxide present in the compressed gaseous mixture is eliminated by absorption, a fuel is mixed with the gaseous mixture, the resulting mixture of fuel and gaseous mixture is burnt and the fumes from the combustion process are expanded. The invention also relates to a power generator for implementing said method.
