CO₂ Shortage Disrupts Trinidad & Tobago Industries

This report covers co₂ shortage disrupts trinidad with key details and context.

A sudden nationwide shortage of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in Trinidad and Tobago has begun affecting key industries including local businesses such as Soverete Ice Cream. This disruption is caused by Nutrien’s nitrogen operations shutdown at the Point Lisas Industrial Estate due to limited natural gas supply and port access challenges. The shutdown has halted the production of CO₂, a component vital for refrigeration, manufacturing, and medical use. As a result, Soverete Ice Cream has been forced to suspend all deliveries. The shortage could also extend to hospitals, airlines, and beverage companies. Nutrien’s shutdown has not only affected the food production industry but also raised concerns over temporary job losses and wider disruptions in related sectors like manufacturing and cold-chain logistics. Soverete Ice Cream has shifted focus to pickup orders and limited ice cream cake production while awaiting supply condition improvements.
