1. A method for analyzing operation of a garbage incineration plant, comprising the steps of:
measuring an amount of CO2 in flue gas and optionally calculating a CO2reference by normalizing the measured amount to a constant oxygen content; determining a ratio of biogenic to fossil carbon in incinerated garbage using the measured amount of CO2 or the normalized quantity CO2reference;
determining and recording a variability of CO2reference or of the ratio of biogenic to fossil carbon in the incinerated garbage by quantity and duration; and selecting garbage to be supplied to the incineration based on the determined and recorded variability of CO2reference or of the ratio of biogenic to fossil carbon in the incinerated garbage by quantity and duration.
