Huge ski rink on top of green energy plant in Denmark

In addition to the ski rink, the roof of the building also has the world's largest cafe, jogging track, and climbing wall, 86m high and 10m wide.

Six years ago, when the Bjarke Ingels Group announced plans to build a Copenhagen green energy plant capable of providing Copenhagen with electricity, hot water and recycled materials, especially an ultra-artificial artificial ice rink. Big will be built on the roof of the factory, many people think that this project is too mythical and doubtful of the actual implementation.

But unexpectedly, the project was quickly built and by the end of 2017, the Copenhagen building was almost completed. The division of the power plant from waste is now in operation.

This new plant has a 25% higher energy capacity than the existing one.

When officially opened next year, the clean energy factory will treat 400,000 tons of waste annually to provide hot water to 160,000 households and provide electricity to 62,500 households. The new plant has a 25% higher energy capacity than the existing plant, while the CO2 emission reduction is about 100,000 tons / year.

The incineration technology is quite effective at the factory, the emissions are significantly cleaned thanks to the application of advanced filtration technology - the air measured in the plant area is more fresh than the central air. city ​​of Copenhagen. The plant will also help the city recover 90% of the scrap metal, and produce 100,000 metric tons of ash crystals that can be reused as a road-spreading material in the transportation industry.

“The factory uses new technology to blow up large smoke rolls. We are currently in trial operation and the results show that the technology has been utilized effectively, ”said project director Jesper Boye Andersen.

The outside of the building is fitted with movable metal rods of different sizes and shapes to adjust the absorption of sunlight. When it rains, each metal bar will move rainwater down to the bar below it to take advantage of the watering the plants.

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

The ski field is the most noticeable and expected project in the building.

The ski field is the most noticeable and expected project in the building. The slope of the course is 440 meters with three ski paths at different levels of difficulty.

As with other ski resorts, safety issues for players need to be carefully considered.

"We are working with the most famous ski safety experts in the world to ensure that skiing here is as safe as anywhere else," said Patrik Gustavsson, ski project manager. .

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

Copenhagen factory is part of the plan to make Copenhagen the first carbon-free city in the world by 2025. Not only that, it is also expected to be an attractive destination, attracting people. local and international visitors.
