Copenhagen also gets energy from shares of biomass (including waste-to-energy systems) and solar (solar photovoltaics and solar thermal). Copenhagen International School features the largest solar facade developed for a building in the world (as of the time it was developed).
With rising energy costs and the worsening climate crisis, some wastewater treatment plants have started using solar energy. Because solar adoption at wastewater treatment plants is still relatively new, there is little known about these facilities, including where they are, what drove them to choose solar, and if solar has been a success.
This paper explores the significant role of Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) in achieving environmental sustainability, with a particular focus on enhancing energy efficiency, resource recovery, and water reuse. WWTPs are crucial for removing pollutants and recovering resources from wastewater, thereby protecting public health and biodiversity.
Renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable clean transit, and green buildings are means for Copenhagen to achieve the goals of the Climate Plan and the fossil fuel-free goal, as is a phase-out of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.
