Taiwan currently has three bamboo charcoal kilns: in Miaoli's Sanwan Township, in Nantou's Chushan Township, and in Chiayi's Tapu Township. Technologically transformed by these kilns, bamboo that was originally worth less than NT $ 5 per kilogram turns into material worth more than NT $ 1,000 per kilogram.
目前竹炭窯蓋在苗栗三灣、南投竹山、嘉義大埔等 3 個鄉鎮，現在原本一公斤賣不到 5 元的生竹，經過科技變身，成為價值上千元的竹炭材料。
