Huge ski field on the roof of the green energy plant in Denmark

In addition, the roof of the building also has a coffee shop, jogging track, and the world's largest artificial climbing wall, 86m high, 10m wide.

Six years ago, when Bjarke Ingels announced its plan to build a Copenhill plant capable of providing Copenhagen City with electricity, hot water and recycled materials, especially an extremely large artificial skiing field would be built on the roof of the factory, many people believe that this project is too mythical and skeptical of the actual implementation.

But unexpectedly, very soon the project was built and by the end of 2017, the Copenhill building was nearing completion. The waste energy factory is now in operation.

This new plant has a 25% higher energy capacity than its current plant.

When officially opened next year, the clean energy factory from waste will treat 400,000 tons of waste annually to supply hot water to 160,000 households and supply electricity to 62,500 households. The new plant has a 25% higher energy capacity than its current plant, while its CO 2 emissions are reduced to around 100,000 tons / year.

The incineration technology is highly efficient at the factory, the emissions are significantly cleaned by the application of advanced filtration technology - the air measured in the factory area is cleaner than the central air. Copenhagen city. The plant will also help the city recover 90% of the waste metal, and produce 100,000 metric tons of ash crystals to be reused as roadbed materials in the transport industry.

'The factory uses new technology to blow up the big smoke rolls. We are currently running the test and the results show that the technology has been effectively utilized , 'said Project Manager Jesper Boye Andersen.

The exterior of the building is fitted with removable metal bars with different sizes and shapes to adjust the absorption of sunlight. When it rains, each metal bar will transfer rainwater to the bar below it to make use of water to water the plants.

On the roof of the building, people will build a ski field made of artificial turf material, which can be opened for players to ski all year round. In addition to the ski slopes, the roof of the building also has the largest cafe, jogging track, and the world's largest artificial climbing wall, 86 meters high and 10 meters wide.

Skiing is the most interesting and expected project in the building.

Skiing is the most interesting and expected project in the building. The slope of the course is 440 meters with three ski tracks at different difficulty levels.

Just like in other ski resorts, safety issues for players need to be scrutinized.

"We are working with the world's most famous ski safety experts to make sure that skiing is as safe as anywhere else," said Patrik Gustavsson, director of the ski field project. .

According to recent estimates, the total construction cost of the plant is 4 billion DKK (about 632 million USD). Funding is funded by five surrounding urban areas - those that will benefit from energy, hot water, and other resources that the factory produces.

The Copenhill plant is part of a plan to bring Copenhagen to become the first carbon-free city in the world by 2025. Moreover, it is also expected to become an attractive destination, attracting people. local and international visitors.
