State-of-the-art waste-to-energy facility in Copenhagen

A 10-year partnership between Ramboll and Copenhagen-based utility pushes the envelope for carbon capture, circular economy, and energy from waste, at the world's most efficient waste-to-energy plant.

Carbon capture for net-zero Copenhagen

Full-scale carbon capture plant at Copenhagen waste-to-energy facility, Amager Bakke, that will capture 500,000 tonnes of CO2 annually by end 2025, helping the Danish capital become carbon neutral.

Scaling recycling to tackle growth in plastic waste

Globally, only 9% of plastic waste is recycled. A first of its kind plastic recycling facility in Denmark demonstrates that this challenge can be overcome by processing almost half the nation’s plastic waste.

What we offer

  • :

    Recycling stations

    We advise clients plan, design, tender and supervise recycling and transfer stations. And we train staff at advanced resource recovery and waste treatment and disposal facilities.
  • :

    Circular business models

    We support industries and businesses develop circular business models that preserve materials. In this way, we support clients in ‘greening’ their supply chain, which is fast becoming a differentiator in many industries.
  • :

    Landfills

    We work with public and private sector clients on landfill projects – ranging from municipal solid waste landfills to industrial and hazardous waste landfills as well as radioactive materials. Using a risk-based approach, we tailor evaluations of existing landfills. This provides opportunities to extend the lifetime of assets, reduce costs and bring landfills into regulatory compliance.
