Demolition of Køgevejens Gasbeholder, Industrial demolition site in Valby, Copenhagen, Denmark.
The Køgevejs gas holder was a cylindrical industrial storage structure that served Copenhagen and surrounding areas with fuel supply. The facility operated as a key component of the city's gas infrastructure for decades.
The facility was built in the mid-1960s following a major accident at a nearby gasworks and provided reserve capacity for the city's supply. It was decommissioned as the city transitioned to alternative fuel sources.
The light blue cylindrical structure marked the Copenhagen skyline as an industrial monument until its controlled implosion on November 4, 2012.
The site is located in Valby, an accessible industrial neighborhood of Copenhagen. The area has been redeveloped as part of urban renewal efforts following the demolition.
This gas holder provided Copenhagen and Frederiksberg with a two-day reserve of spaltgas before the transition to Bygas2, a natural gas-air mixture.
