Next year, the island of Amager in
Copenhagen, Denmark, will have a
waste-to-energy plant that will not
only be one of the best-performing
European plants in terms of energy
efficiency, waste treatment capacity
and environmental consideration, but
also in terms of visual rendition and
local acceptance.
Designed by Bjarke Ingels Group,
the Amager Bakke waste-to-energy
plant, now under construction, will
contribute to Copenhagen's ambitious
goal of becoming carbon neutral by
2025. When finished, it will process
435,000 tonnes of waste a year, pro-
ducing heat for 160,000 households
and electricity for 62,500.
