Abstract

A method is for operating a burner of a gas turbine. A fossil fuel is gasified and the gasified fossil fuel is fed as synthesis gas into the burner for combustion. The burner is connected to the gas turbine. The synthesis gas is divided into a first partial current and a second partial current and the partial currents are each fed into the burner for combustion. A power plant, particularly a gas and steam turbine system, includes a gasification device for a fossil fuel.
