This Special Focus eBook looks at the various uses of helium and explains why these applications require a sustainable helium supply to be secured.
From its use in healthcare to its role in semiconductors, helium is a gas that plays a crucial part in our daily lives. Its lightweight, low boiling point and non-reactive properties mean that it can be used in a variety of ways.
However, due to its vital use in a number of industries and scarcity on Earth, there are concerns about potential shortages. The global helium market must, therefore, be stabilised through the development of sustainable and reliable sources of helium.
What is helium used for?
Helium’s properties mean that its applications go far beyond its use in the balloon industry.
Outside parties, helium has an important role in the scientific and industrial fields. It’s used to cool superconducting magnets in MRI machines and particle accelerators, ensuring their efficient operation. In welding, helium is used as a shielding gas, preventing oxidation during the process.
Helium also finds applications in aerospace, the entertainment industry, and deep-sea diving, where its inert properties are invaluable.
However, its limited supply has raised concerns regarding sustainable usage.
Securing a sustainable and reliable supply of helium
Pulsar Helium Inc. has established itself in the global helium market by focusing on securing a sustainable supply of the element. The company aims to be at the forefront to meet the growing demand for helium – addressing the supply deficit of the market.
Pulsar’s Topaz Helium project, located in Minnesota, US, represents the company’s potential for significant growth. A concentration of 10.5% helium was discovered at the project – standing well above the industry’s viability threshold.
Featuring in-depth insights into the global helium market, this eBook highlights the importance of the element’s everyday applications and the role of Pulsar in securing a sustainable supply at its Topaz project.
Topics covered in the eBook
The eBook begins by illustrating the uses of helium in a number of fields, including medical imaging, the manufacturing industry, and scientific research. Then, the importance of conservation efforts is highlighted as a solution to reducing the shortage of the element.
Specifically, helium’s versatile applications are emphasised through Pulsar’s groundbreaking marketing incentive, #pulsarignite. The eBook explores how this marketing campaign extends beyond its initial goal of raising awareness about helium and engaging the public.
Later on in the eBook, Minnesota’s mining industry is looked at more closely in an interview with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources’ Heather Arends and Ted Anderson. They explain that although there is a regulatory gap to facilitate helium production in the state, more work must be done to ensure that these gaps are identified and ultimately filled.
Finally, the potential of Pulsar’s Topaz Helium project is examined in significant detail – emphasising how the project can help to fulfil the crucial aim of securing a sustainable supply of helium.
