A man-made ski slope now being built on Copenhagen's waterfront, will add a new clean energy feature to the Denmark capital's skyline. The skiers will schuss a top a high-efficiency waste-to-energy plant.

The Amager Bakke incinerator, now under construction, will contribute to Copenhagen's ambitious goal of becoming carbon-neutral by 2025. When finished in 2016, it will produce heat for 160,000 households and electricity for 62,500 residences. It is perhaps the flashiest example yet of Europe's effort to deploy cutting-edge waste-to-energy technology in the effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Project has been prepared by the famous architectural firm Bjarke Ingels Group and represents top sophisticated and modern architecture. What is important - incineration plant will emit to the atmosphere only water vapor and carbon dioxide.
