Press release
The CO2 industry has come to an agreement to ensure UK businesses have access to a sustainable supply of CO2. ![]()
The carbon dioxide (CO2) industry has come to an agreement to ensure UK businesses have access to a sustainable supply of CO2 - an essential component of the national economy. CO2 suppliers have agreed to pay CF Fertilisers a price for the CO2 it produces that will enable it to continue operating while global gas prices remain high, drawing on support from industry and delivering value for money for the taxpayer. This price for CO2 reflects the vital importance of this material to everything from our nuclear industry to hospitals to the food and beverage industry. CF Fertilisers produces around 60% of the UK’s commercial CO2 requirements. In September, the government agreed an exceptional 3 week arrangement with CF Fertilisers that allowed the company to continue operating while the industry moved towards this agreement. This decisive and essential action ensured that industry could continue to function without the need for longer term financial intervention from the government, helping to protect taxpayers’ interests. The government has supported by bringing the industry together to confirm today’s agreement. The deal runs until January 2022 and means that key sectors, including food processing and nuclear power, are ensured supplies of CO2. Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng said:
Environment Secretary George Eustice said:
Last week, Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng temporarily exempted parts of the CO2 industry from competition law to facilitate this agreement and provide further security of CO2 supplies to UK businesses. In addition, major commercial CO2 producer Ensus reopened its Wilton plant last week following temporary closure for planned maintenance, further securing supplies. The Wilton plant can produce up to 40% of the UK’s CO2 requirements.
