| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation | The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Arq are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and with Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In compliance with those instructions, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Arq in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Quarterly Report") are presented on a consolidated basis and include Arq and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Also included within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are the Company's unconsolidated equity investments, Tinuum Group, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and Highview Enterprises Limited (the "Highview Investment"), which is accounted for in accordance with U.S. GAAP applicable to equity investments that do not qualify for the equity method of accounting. Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts were eliminated in consolidation for all periods presented in this Quarterly Report. In the opinion of management, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Form 10-K"). Other than the change in accounting principle discussed below, significant accounting policies disclosed therein have not changed.

| Change in Accounting Principle | Effective April 1, 2026, the Company changed its method of accounting for costs incurred in connection with planned major maintenance activities (“turnaround” or "TAR") on its Red River Plant from the direct-expense method to the deferral method. Turnarounds are scheduled and required shutdowns of Red River Plant operations during which the Company performs planned major maintenance activities. Under the deferral method, qualifying costs, including maintenance materials, parts and direct labor directly attributable to the turnaround, are capitalized when incurred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period until the next scheduled turnaround. Routine repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The Company believes that the deferral method is preferable because it better matches qualifying turnaround costs with the periods benefited by the planned major maintenance activities and improves the comparability of the Company’s operating results between periods. Under the direct-expense method previously applied, qualifying turnaround costs were expensed entirely in the periods in which they were incurred, although the benefits of the turnaround activities extended through the period until the next scheduled turnaround. The Company applied the change retrospectively to all periods presented. See Note 12 for additional information regarding the effect of the change in accounting principle.

| Loss Per Common Share | Basic loss per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per common share is computed in a manner consistent with that of loss per common share, while considering the impact of common stock equivalents from other potentially dilutive securities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, potentially dilutive securities consist of unvested restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), stock options, and contingent performance stock units ("PSUs").
|
| Use of Estimates | The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. There have been no changes in the Company's critical accounting estimates from those that were disclosed in the 2025 Form 10-K. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
|
| Fair value measurements | The carrying amounts of the Company's cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate fair value as recorded due to the short-term nature of these instruments. |
| Reclassifications | Certain balances have been reclassified from the prior year to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position in any of the periods presented.

| New Accounting Standards | Recently Adopted In July 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets ("ASU 2025-05"). ASU 2025-05 provides a practical expedient that all entities can use when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under this practical expedient, an entity is allowed to assume that the current conditions it has applied in determining credit loss allowances for current accounts receivable and current contract assets remain unchanged for the remaining life of those assets. Entities that elect the practical expedient and, if applicable, make the accounting policy election are required to apply the amendments prospectively. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 effective January 1, 2026. The adoption of this new accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Recently Issued In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires entities to disclose disaggregated information related to certain costs and expenses, including amounts relating to purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization and depletion, for each income statement line item that contains those expenses. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2024-03 is required to be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on its financial statement disclosures.
