Ensus, the UK's top supplier of high-purity CO₂, alerts of a potential shutdown following a UK-US trade deal eliminating tariffs on American bioethanol imports. The company requires urgent government subsidies to prevent closure of its Teesside plant, vital for producing both bioethanol from British wheat and the significant by-product CO₂. This closure would threaten numerous sectors reliant on CO₂, as the deal favors cheaper US imports, making domestic production uncompetitive and endangering skilled jobs in the region.
The situation has become critical: 'We are at the 11th hour and the government urgently needs to find a solution to a crisis of its own making.'
