What is the TTC? What Does the Turkish Hard Coal Authority Do?
Turkish Hard Coal Institution (TTK) is a government institution operating in the production and distribution of hard coal in Turkey.
The main functions of the TTK include:
- Hard Coal Production: TTK produces coal for energy and industrial use by processing Turkey's hard coal reserves. These activities are generally carried out in Turkey's hard coal-rich regions such as Zonguldak, Karabük, Kütahya and Amasya.
- Coal Mining: TTK operates coal mines and carries out coal extraction activities. During these activities, the operation of mines in accordance with safety standards and worker health and safety are prioritized.
- Marketing and Distribution: TTK markets the hard coal it produces to energy producers, industrial facilities and individual consumers. It also performs functions such as quality control and supply chain management in the process from production to distribution.
- Research and Development: TTK carries out research and development activities to develop new technologies in the hard coal industry and improve coal mining and processing processes.
TTK operates to ensure the effective and efficient use of hard coal, which has an important place among Turkey's energy resources.
