LONDON, Sept 18 — Britain’s food industry called on the government to subsidise carbon dioxide production during a spike in gas prices or risk the collapse of the country’s meat industries.
The shortage of CO2, which is also used to put the fizz into beer, cider and soft drinks, comes at a terrible time for the food industry, which is already facing an acute shortage of truck drivers and the impact of Brexit and Covid-19. Business minister Kwasi Kwarteng was due to meet the heads of the UK’s largest energy suppliers and operators today to discuss the situation. He said he did not expect supply emergencies this year due to a diverse range of sources.“Doing nothing is not an option,” Allen told Reuters, adding that given the exceptional circumstances, the government needed to either subsidise the power supply to maintain fertiliser production, or source CO2 from elsewhere.
