  • The Danish capital city will not be able to reach its ambitious climate goal of carbon neutrality after its iconic incinerator failed to meet CO2 capture requirements for state funding.
  • The company’s plan was to set up a large-scale plant in 2025 that could filter all the CO2 out of the smoke rejected by the ARC incinerator.
  • The country will have reduced its CO2 emissions by 70% in 2030 and become carbon neutral as planned in 2050.
