With the exception of nuclear power stations (which are classed as 'thermal'), all other 'thermal' power stations use combustible fuels, including coal (usually pulverised), oil, gas, wood-chips, etc. I visited a sugar plantation, in Indonesia, where the waste material (pulverised) from the processed sugar cane was used as the main fuel in their on-site power station.

by the equipment in the power station. It can be coal, oil, natural gas, wood, falling water,
moving air, sunshine, oxen, buffalo, or radioactive material.
