The National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago Ltd (NGC) said yesterday that it has secured alternative arrangements to supply carbon dioxide (CO2) to Massy Gas Products Ltd, the country’s main distributor of CO2 to domestic users and food and beverage industry customers, in a move aimed at averting potential disruptions and easing public and commercial concern.
On Thursday, Nutrien shut down its Trinidad Nitrogen operations at the Point Lisas Industrial Estate, as previously announced, despite being granted permission on Wednesday to continue using the ports until the end of the year. As a result 600 jobs were put on the line.
