Completed · Energy · Waste-To-Energy Plant With Public Recreation Roof · Temperate · 2019

A waste-to-energy plant that doubles as a ski slope and public park on its roof, demonstrating that industrial infrastructure can carry active civic programming without compromising operational performance. The plant burns municipal waste to produce electricity and district heating for 150,000 homes.

Innovation highlights

• Waste-to-energy plant integrated with year-round ski slope and climbing wall
• CO2 emission visualisation: stack emits one puff per tonne of CO2 released
• Industrial building as public recreational destination
• High-efficiency flue gas condensation recovering additional heat from exhaust
