Yara to provide liquid gases for food & beverages

0

Yara International ASA is to invest €30m in a new world-scale liquid carbon dioxide facility and enter into a long term partnership with the Ensus Group, which will eventually see the company providing high purity liquid gases for the UK food and beverages industry.

The new liquid CO2 facility will be constructed next to the Ensus wheat refinery at Teesside in the UK, and will be operational in mid 2009 with an annual liquid capacity of 250,000 tonnes. This will enable Norway’s Yara to continuously supply a growing number of customers in the UK with CO2 from the new plant, its existing plant in Billingham and the Thames terminal.

The terminal facility at Teesside also allows shipment of products to terminals in Scandinavia and Northern Europe.

Following the agreement, CO2 raw gas produced at the Ensus wheat refining plant, which is the largest in Europe, will be supplied into the new Yara plant and upgraded to high purity liquid CO2 for the growing UK food and beverages industry.
