It opened in 1980 on a landfill at the northern tip of Refshale Island (Refshaleøen), close to the old sea fort Trekroner. The original plant was only equipped to remove organic waste in a sewage works by means of oxygenation. The demands specified in the Aquatic Environment Plan of 1987 spelled significant expansion for the plant.
