1. A plant for producing a mechanical energy from a carrier fluid under cryogenic conditions, comprising:
a cryogenic tank configured for storing said carrier fluid under said cryogenic conditions;
a capacitive tank;
a supply circuit, connecting said cryogenic tank to said capacitive tank and comprising a pump, configured to increase a pressure of said carrier fluid;
an engine body, configured for producing said mechanical energy and comprising a work chamber having an inlet port, arranged in fluid communication with said capacitive tank, and an outlet port connected to a discharge circuit for spent carrier fluid spent from the work chamber;
a recirculation circuit configured to convey a portion of said spent carrier fluid into said capacitive tank;
wherein the plant is in an open cycle configuration.
