Nutrien Ltd. is curbing output at its Trinidad & Tobago plants due to natural gas shortages, Bloomberg reported this week. In a statement to Bloomberg on July 31, Nutrien said interruption to gas supplies is resulting in lower production at its Point Lisas facility, and the company is in talks with the government to resolve the matter.
“We are in discussions with the ministry of energy about this important issue and hope that the matter can be resolved in a timely manner and operations at our Trinidad facility returned to normal operations soon,” the statement said.
The Trinidad & Tobago complex, which produces ammonia at four plants, supplies customers in the US, the Caribbean, and Latin America. The plants produce about a third of Nutrien’s ammonia capacity.
