@@hrimfaxi1 Copenhill is not Amagerværket, if that is what you hint at. They are not even owned by the same people, Amagerværket is owned by HOFOR (Hovedstadsområdets Forsyningsselskab) and CopenHill is owned by ARC (Amager Ressourcecenter I/S)
Copenhill is a fantastic building, sadly with a few oversights. First of all, Neveplast (the ski surface) shouldn’t have any vegetation growing through it - it makes the slope mouldy, bumpy and makes turning quite difficult. Plus it’s basically like riding on ice, thus the number of people trying it once and not coming back. What is also not mentioned is that the ski surface of Copenhill is currently being redone due to the material deteriorating faster than expected, at a cost of a smooth 1 million USD. Sadly, this is par for the course for many of BIG designed buildings: there are histories of the whole facades of residential buildings leaking and the buildings needing extensive and costly repairs, ending in disputes between architects, owners and the municipality. I admire BIG‘s creations and Copenhill is something that should be replicated throughout the world. Just wish the build quality followed the great ideas.
Personally I would get rid of the ski slope. It is akin to a golf course - a large area that is no use to wildlife, and only a few people can use. Instead I would simply add more plants such as those used by bees and other pollen spreading creatures.
Absolutely - but I’d actually argue that the ski slope there is a pretty amazing idea. I use it for snowboarding (there are snowboard obstacles on the bottom section of it) and it is a lot of fun, once you figured out riding on what’s basically sheet ice - and embraced the possibility of a likely injury :)
@@tomedward8652 We already have lots of wildlife dedicated land, and plant-filled rooftop walks. The key here is diversity in the urban landscape, not just sticking with one formula and copy pasting it everywhere. There is also the context of location, the plant is situated in a remote location within the city, meaning a lot of people don't frequent the place unless incentivized by a unique experience. A walk among some plants and wildlife will not do that, it would only really benefit the people working at the plant, but they aren't there for leisure times in the first place. You can look at other architectural works in Copenhagen like the Figure 8 building complex which has a green walkable roof through the entire structure's roof - as well as other places with different approaches. A good architectural city planning will diversify the experiences that are available - and considering people in Denmark have no other places to ski anyways this is a niche opportunistic choice that also serves the Tourist industry well as more of an eye catcher and a novel idea, than simply putting some more plants on a roof.
I worked at a Coal burning powerplant for 13 years. It amazes me how clean the inside of that place is. There burning trash. Pretty cool. I would like to know how man megawatts this place makes.
The plant is designed to change between operating modes, producing 0-63 MW electricity and 157-247 MW district heating. It's a great feat of micro and macro engineering.
I always wonder that if the CO2 gets filtered out it must be stuck somewhere else. What to do with filters and stuff where it gets captured ? Does anyone know ?
I think it depends on the type of filtration. Some are chemical, where they use specific gases that bind to the CO2 and then they collect that compound and can turn it into solid bricks of CO2; others are literal filters that I guess must be stored in facilities somewhere.
Yes, they conveniently avoided answering that question. Whatever methods they use I cannot imagine there is a clean way to burn rubbish, especially rubbish that contains many unknown materials.
In anesthesia, we do captured the CO2 with soda lime. Soda lime is something like rice grains that absorb CO2. but i dont have idea in video, how they do it.
Well, the carbon of oil, coal, or trees only causes an issue when we burn it, and it gets released into the air and atmosphere. So the captured carbon can be either buried back into the ground or placed in some sort of storage facility. Either way, it no longer affects our atmosphere.
@@Turtle3141 you can also run substoichiometric and your exhaust gas is (mostly) a syngas (carbon monoxide and hydrogen) and use that as a fuel. Gasification and Pyrolysis. It’s a cool technology.
The video fails to capture the smell, obviously. The first time I I went there, that threw me off a little. Maybe if the path leading to the top was flanked by greenery would help a little. Also, the “café” up there need some help (I would assume that was out of scope for BIG?). Side note: Copenhagen is beautiful, TONS of great designers-COBE, BIG, Frama, Dorte Mandrup, Olafur…GOD (Odin?)! I wish I was born there!!!! Anyways, definitely worth the visit (and please, do yourself a favour and bike there).🇩🇰
I would still like to know what they do with the residue they filter from the smoke. Must be a considerable amount of very toxic stuff to dispose of in some way.
I can't say this with 100% confidence. I have no memory of where or where I read/heard this or if made it up myself. I am somewhat sure that it is burnt on a different location where they can burn at a much much higher temperature. Hot enough to make some of that stuff burn change chemical properties and not being toxic anymore. Don't take this with a grain of salt, more like a truckload of salt.
They capture it and store it, it's called CCS "The captured CO2 can either be stored below ground, or eventually converted into green fuels (Power-to-X). According to GEUS, the Danish underground is particularly suitable for storing CO2, and it will be possible to store 500-1000 years of total Danish emissions at the current level."
Maybe this is what we need more of, crazy ideas.. Ideas to inspire people to make a change and think differently. To direct the worlds focus on our green future. 💚 Said by a car channel.. I see the irony. 😏
You didn't say how much CO2 the plant emitted just that it does and you want to capture that in the future. How much CO2 does the plant emit? I'm assuming it's a lot less than an LPG or coal fired power plant so that comparison would be helpful.
The concept is nice. But it doesn't look like they put much effort on beautifying the landscape or facilities. At least do some spot coloring on the building partitions to make it look fun.
It is like riding on ice - hard work on skis, borderline impossible to control on a snowboard, but if you get good at riding that then no snowy slope is ever scary to you again.

@Cyberpunk Denton It’s a carbon sinking, trash removing powerplant with a hiking trail, climbing wall, and freaking ski slope. When you start with a stinky trash landfill and carbon emitting power plant and end with this, it’s a little harsh to call the design brutalist. From what they started with, the result is rather beautiful.
@@alexgram4345 Or maybe you just have a minority taste yet believe you are superior due to thinking you're the main character in this world? But the fact that you couldn't acknowledge the style, and you claim the design is "horrible" as a factual statement, instantly proves you possess neither stylistic nor design skills of your own. And that makes me doubt your blender skills as well. What work have you done?

The ski slope on the building is so cool; a hiking park and other outdoor amenities with animals and even foxes, wow! 😮
He mentioned the fox like it was a surprise to him. So now I'm curious if they put the fox up there or it scaled the building 😂
I think The Tim Traveller's video on this does a better job of showing the limitations of a good idea like this
Amazing!! Apparently there are no limits for creativity!!
This is INSANE!! Wow!!
Thank you for saving a planet ❤❤❤❤❤
Wish we all had one of these
Dystopian kinda stuff
Very Impressed....! Made my DAY!!!!
Thank you, Arnold!

i wish one day i could snowboard on that thing. now plane tickets are crazy expensive.
absolutely stunning.

If only water vapor comes out, what happens to al the other compounds? You still end up with byproduct but is it useable or do you get new trash?
they are building my dream actually!
The building reminds me of the one in Superman 3 with Christopher Reeve. Also had a ski slope on top of a skyscraper. Movue Magic 🤣

What is the buildings were the parks?
Need more smart buildings and megastructures integrating with local parks and landscapes like these instead of flat suburban sprawn.
And who’s going to pay for it?
If it’s poor people tax dollars, then say goodbye to that vision.
More megastructures is just as asinine as suburban sprawl...
Where did the fox come from?
This isn’t propaganda ? Ain’t no way. Sustainable AND power plant ? ?! Oh wait, it’s actually pretty dope wtf ?! What’s going on ?
Supposed to be for skiing, but no one the video, so what's the problem?
Can some architect design a volcano with a secret laboratory inside for me?
HOW DOD THE FOX ARRIVE AT THE ROOF TOP? elevator?
My dad just broke he's thumb skiing here, and he's not the only one getting hurt, the surface is way too slippery
