B&W Vølund is providing state-of-the art technology for the new plant. Copenhill (Amager Bakke) features an artificial ski slope inspired by the ski slopes in the Alps. Innovative technology and architecture integrate to form a future in which waste-to-energy plants are welcomed in any backyard.

This is how efficient the technology of the Copenhill (ARC’s Amager Bakke) plant is:
400,000 tons of waste a year result in:

– 99% energy efficiency.
– District heating for 160,000 households.
– Electricity for 62,500 households.
– 100 million litres of spare water recovered through flue gas condensation.
– 90% reuse of metals from waste amounting to 10,000 tonnes of metal a year.
– 100,000 tonnes of bottom ash reused as road material which saves large amounts of gravel.
