By using only air, water, and renewable electricity, Arctura’s nitric acid plants can produce the chemical on-site and tailored to the specific needs of the consumer without any carbon emissions in the process.

Arctura has developed a novel technology that completely reimagines the process of synthesizing nitric acid. Instead of relying on natural gas and the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process, Arctura’s method uses only air, water, and electricity to produce nitric acid, entirely eliminating the carbon emissions associated with conventional production.

The anecdote of the renewable energy executive who denies climate change suggests that intelligence, success, and even involvement in climate-related industries do not necessarily inoculate individuals against cognitive biases or ideological commitments that can lead to the rejection of scientific evidence. Understanding and addressing these cognitive barriers is crucial if we are to build a consensus around the urgent need for action on climate change.
