In Copenhagen, Denmark lies Amager Bakke, a unique power plant. Not only is it the world's cleanest waste-to-energy facility, it's also home to a man-made mountain called CopenHill with its own ski slope, the world's tallest climbing wall and challenging hiking trails up the building where you'll find the best views of Copenhagen. Opened in October 2019, the building was designed Bjarke Ingels Group (aka BIG) with an aim to create a building that can "contribute positively to the city, become part of the city, and even to be a landmark of the capital". The plant serves 680,000 people and takes waste from up to 300 lorries each day. Its steam turbine produces 63MWh of energy, while its heat exchangers are used in a district heating system.

Since 2016, inventor and entrepreneur Richard Browning has dedicated himself to one ambitious mission: creating the perfect jet suit. The 'real-life Iron Man' founded Gravity Industries in 2017 to develop, test and produce his suit. In his first record attempt he hit a top speed of 32.02 miles per hour and in November 2019 he set out to smash that record with a more advanced version of his unique suit. Before his attempt, we spoke to Richard about his journey to creating his suit and the changes he's made to help him in his record attempt. He also spoke of his plans for the future, which include selling suits to enthusiasts (it takes just a day to learn how to use them) and even the possibility of a racing series.
