The National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited has announced countermeasures to ensure a continued supply of carbon dioxide (CO2) for distribution through Massy Gas Products Trinidad Limited. Massy is the main supplier of CO2 for customers in the food and beverage industries.
Via a press release, NGC said the company has been actively coordinating with the Proman Group and the Point Lisas Industrial Port Development Corporation Limited, Plipdeco, to make an alternative supply of CO2 available to Massy.
NGC noted that through negotiations, Proman has committed to supply an equivalent volume of CO2, previously supplied by Nutrien, and has agreed to maintain the pricing that was charged by Nutrien, therefore, no increase in prices to customers is expected.
To facilitate this new alternative supply to Massy, the required infrastructure is being installed and is expected to be completed and fully commissioned by Monday, October 27th.
Plipdeco has granted all permits and approvals to accelerate the completion of these works.
Massy has assured that there is currently adequate CO2 stock available to meet domestic demand until completion of the switchover.
