Article summary

The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) have announced a deal with CF fertilisers which will ensure UK businesses maintain access to supplies of CO2. The deal is in response to the volatile gas market and prices. The government will assist CF Fertilisers, which produces around 60% of the UK’s CO2, with operating costs for three weeks until a more sustainable solution can be pursued.
