Amager Bakke (lit. 'Amager Hill'), also known as Amager Slope or Copenhill, is a combined heat and power waste-to-energy plant (new resource handling centre) and recreational facility in Amager, Copenhagen Denmark,[1] located prominently within view of the city's downtown.
The facility opened in 2017,[2] and partially replaced the nearby old incineration plant in Amager,[3] which is in the process of being converted from coal to biomass (expected to complete in 2020).[4] The two plants play a major role in Copenhagen's ambitions of meeting zero carbon requirements by 2025.[4]
The recreational components of the facility (the dry ski run, hiking trail and climbing wall) opened in December 2018,[5] with an attendance estimated at 42-57 thousand visitors annually.[6]
Copenhill was named the World Building of the Year 2021 at the fourteenth annual World Architecture Festival.[7]
