THE National Gas Company of TT (NGC) has advised that it has secured alternative supplies of carbon dioxide (CO2), previously supplied by Nutrien, for the food and beverage industry.

A release from NGC on October 24 said the Nutrien shutdown, announced on October 20, had generated anxiety as Nutrien was the principal supplier of CO2 to Massy Gas Products Trinidad Ltd, which is the main supplier of CO2 to domestic users and customers in the food and beverage industry.

“NGC has taken notice of this development and has been actively co-ordinating with key stakeholders to make available an alternative supply of CO2 to Massy,” a release said.
