UK to reopen ₹1,250-crore CO2 plant to avoid food, energy crisis

UK government will provide about £100 million (₹1,250 crore) for an initial three-month period to reopen the Ensus CO2 plant in Teesside, which had shut down last year. This comes as Middle East tensions are sparking food and healthcare shortage concerns. Restored CO2 production is crucial for food processing industries, drinks sectors, manufacture of semiconductor devices and extraction of crude.
