Nutrien shutters plant in Trinidad


 

Nutrien is shutting down its nitrogen plant in Trinidad, citing a lack of reliable supply of natural gas and port constraints.


Nutrien said the shutdown ​will not affect its 2026 ⁠nitrogen sales outlook and said it will have enough to meet customer demand in North America.


The company produced about 85,000 ​metric tons of ammonia and 55,000 metric tons of urea per month at its Trinidad ​operations.


Nutrien is the world’s largest potash producer and is based in Saskatchewan.
