Copenhagen's CopenHill: Waste-to-Energy Plant with a Twist

Copenhagen's waste-to-energy plant, CopenHill, has opened with a unique twist: a ski slope, hiking trail, and climbing wall on its roof. This innovative plant, designed by BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group, is the most energy-efficient and environmentally friendly of its kind, aligning with Copenhagen's goal of becoming carbon-neutral by 2025.

The plant's roof features a 9,000m2 ski terrain, including an Olympic half-pipe and a time slalom course, providing thrill-seekers with a new attraction in the Amager industrial waterfront. Non-skiers can enjoy a rooftop bar, a 490m hiking trail with a green roof, and the tallest artificial climbing wall in the world, which forms part of the plant's facade.

CopenHill's design integrates the latest technologies in waste treatment and energy production. It replaces a 50-year-old waste-to-energy plant and produces enough clean energy to power 150,000 homes annually. The plant's design is a collaboration between BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group, SLA, AKT, Lüchinger+Meyer, MOE, and Rambøll.

CopenHill, also known as Amager Bakke, opened in March 2017, adding to the city's commitment to sustainability and innovative urban planning. While the managing director of Amager Ressourcecenter (ARC) at the time of opening was not specified, the plant's success is a testament to Copenhagen's dedication to becoming the world's first carbon-neutral city.
