A system and a process for reducing greenhouse gas emissions are disclosed herein. The system may include a combustion zone, a catalytic converter, a methanation reactor, a compressor, a normal venting unit, a vacuum protection unit, and a control system. The process may include feeding a fuel, a methane-containing gas, and an oxygen-containing gas into a first reactor unit, and producing a combustion products stream comprising carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and water. The process may include cooling the combustion products stream via a cooling system, feeding the cooled exhaust stream and hydrogen to a second reactor unit. The second reactor unit may include a first catalyst for reacting oxygen with carbon monoxide to form carbon dioxide, and a second catalyst for reacting carbon dioxide with hydrogen to produce methane. The process may include recovering an effluent from the second reactor unit and feeding it to the first reactor unit.
