1. A method for quantifying the operation of a fossil-fired thermal system in which a corrected fuel chemistry is being determined by an analytical model for fuel chemistry, the method comprising the steps of:

  • determining a quantity of CO2 produced from inorganic materials associated with a fossil fuel;

    determining an ultimate analysis of the fossil fuel resulting in an uncorrected fuel chemistry;

    determining a set of corrections to the ultimate analysis based on the quantity of CO2 produced from inorganic materials; and

    determining the corrected fuel chemistry based on the set of corrections to the ultimate analysis used in the analytical model for fuel chemistry.
