Nutrien’s decision to indefinitely shut down its nitrogen operations at Point Lisas is expected to have far-reaching economic consequences, with the Energy Chamber of Trinidad and Tobago warning of losses in jobs, export earnings, foreign exchange and government revenue.
In a statement issued to Guardian Media yesterday, the chamber voiced concern over the closure, which follows the controlled shutdown of Nutrien’s operations in late 2025.
Nutrien’s local operations included four ammonia plants with a combined production capacity of 1.8 million tonnes annually and a urea plant capable of producing 600,000 tonnes a year.
