• The Copen Hill Waste-to-Energy Power Plant, or the
Amager Bakke, is a combined waste-to-energy
power plant combined with a recreational sports
facility in Amager, Copenhagen, Denmark.
• The power plant focuses on the project of
converting Denmark’s aspirations of being a
zero-carbon nation by 2025.
• Located at the waterfront, the plant is capable of
converting 440,000 tons of waste into usable energy
annually for 150,000 homes.
• It is an amalgamation of an environmental
education and awareness core as well as an urban
level insert in the city of Copenhagen.
• The ski slope situated on the 85m tall sloped roof
of the plant comprises a ski slope, a hiking trail,
and a climbing wall.
• The 400m long ski slope constructed using synthetic
materials makes the use of it possible all year round
while in deep contrast with its flat and singular level
context of agricultural lands.

• The idea and design formulation came into the
mind of Bjarke Ingles when he noted that the
residents of the city traveled outside the
city for almost half a day to go back and
forth the nearest mountain ranges fit for
skiing.
• Even though Copenhagen receives abundant
snowfall, the nearest skiing resort for recreational
purposes was miles away. Another justification
for the site was the abundance of sports and
recreational facilities found in the dense area of
energy plants and industrial zones.
• Hence, the first goal was to provide an
accessible recreational and sports facility,
otherwise found quite far away, for the
community residing in the city.
• The 10,000m2 green roof includes 400 plant
species, addresses the challenging micro-climate
of an 85m high park, rewilds a biodiverse
landscape and adds social spaces for all species.
• On the longest vertical façade, an 85m climbing
wall is installed to be the tallest artificial
climbing wall in the world.
• There is a glass elevator behind the climbing
wall, so that climbers are visible from the inside,
and climbers can look into the factory
