A jump in gas prices has forced several domestic energy suppliers out of business and has shut fertiliser plants that also produce CO2

Some of Britain's meat processors will run out of carbon dioxide within five days, forcing them to halt production, the head of the industry's lobby group warned on Monday.

The shortage of CO2, also used to put the fizz in beer, cider and soft drinks, has compounded an acute shortage of truck drivers in the UK, which has been blamed on the impact of Covid-19 and Brexit. “We're two weeks away from seeing some real impacts on the shelves. On the poultry side we're hearing they're even tighter supplies so we might see poultry disappearing even sooner.”

The British Retail Consortium , which represents retailers including the major supermarket groups, said the CO2 crisis added to existing pressures on production and distribution.
