Arbikie Highland Estate in Scotland has created a line of pea-based spirits which removes more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than it emits.
Arbikie Highland Estate in Arbroath has created a line of spirits called Nàdar ("nature" in Gaelic) which removes more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than it emits, making it "climate-positive," says Kirsty Black, master distiller at Arbikie.
Spirits are usually made by fermenting grains such as wheat or barley, cereal crops that typically require synthetic fertilizers. By using peas instead of wheat for the base spirit, Arbikie avoids the carbon emissions and pollution created by synthetic fertilizers. Then, after distillation, residual pea by-products are then used to make high-protein animal feed, with zero waste.
