During the visit to Copenhagen, at the invitation of the Danish Energy Agency, representatives of the Ukrainian delegation learned about the work of the powerful Copenhill plant (Amager Bakke), which processes around 400 thousand tons of garbage per year for generating heat and electricity.

In particular, the plant has up to 63 MW of electrical capacity and up to 247 MW of thermal power. The plant Copenhill is an architectural wonder and has a huge area for recreation and entertainment, namely - an artificial ski slope and places for rock climbing.
