To mitigate global warming and fossil fuel shortages a novel oxy-fuel combustion power plant integrated with a power to gas system is proposed. A net-zero emission MATIANT cycle with inherent CO2 capture ability is selected as the power cycle also providing the CO2 and power demand of the power to gas system, which comprises a proton exchange membrane electrolyzer for hydrogen production and a Sabatier reactor for methanation. A techno-economic investigation, a multi-objective optimization, and a sensitivity analysis are carried out. A comprehensive economic method that covers all economic aspects is utilized, and a Sabatier reactor model which considers the possibility of the presence of...
