Background
Taiwan Cogeneration Corporation's (TCC) Kuan-Tien or Guan-Tien power station appears to have been designed to be fuelled primarily by sub-bituminous coal and old car tyres. It was also be designed to burn bituminous coal, sludge, tea leaves, and waste oil.[2][3][4]
The power station increased its usage ratio of solid recovered fuel (SRF) in 2024 and conducted trial combustion evaluations of wood pellet fuel.[5]
