Nutrien closes its Trinidad plants "indefinitely"
Nutrien Ltd has announced that it will “indefinitely” shut down its Trinidad Nitrogen operations at the Point Lisas site due to ongoing natural gas constraints and uncertainty over gas supplies. The company says that, following an “extensive review” of alternatives, it has determined that this is “the optimal path” to enhance free cash flow and return on invested capital.
Nutrien had previously implemented a controlled shutdown of the facility on October 23, 2025, in response to port access restrictions and a lack of reliable and economic natural gas supplies that reduced the free cash flow contribution of the Trinidad Nitrogen operations over an extended period of time.
