Recent studies have shown that the concentration of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide in
the atmosphere is growing rapidly over recent years and this can lead to major dangers for the
planet. This growth is mainly due to the emissions from fossil power source such as diesel plants
and gas turbines. The purpose of the present paper is to study the feasibility of integrating a
technique based on power to gas concept in fossil power plants such as gas turbine. This work is
based on the reduction of pollutant gas emissions produced from a gas turbine plant, especially the
carbon dioxide. This captured gas (CO2) can be converted once again into energy via the technique
of power to gas concept. This concept starts by extracting CO2 from exhaust gases which is carried
out by multiple chemical process. On the other side, H2 is produced from water electrolysis using
the excess electricity which is produced but not consumed by the existing loads. finally the production of Methane (CH4) can be achieved by combination of the captured CO2 and the extracted H2
via a reactor known as a reactor of Sabatier, this operation is called methanation or hydrogenation
of carbon dioxide. Simulation results are presented for the validation of the proposed technique
based on real data obtained on site from a gas turbine plant
