McElroy Manufacturing, Inc.’s Post

Is this a significant development? On the face of it, potentially. There are two sides to every story, of course. What I can say is, this is a trending story at gasworld this week, even in the face of other #market ructions, and throws further spotlight on the global #helium business – and that security of supply. The only place you can get all the angles on helium supply chains, all the #intelligence and #insights, all the discussion, debate and #networking that matters, with players new and old, is at the Helium Super Summit in Houston this October. Check out https://lnkd.in/ehuTAyFz for more info. Shameless plug? Maybe, but it's the leading, authoritative #event for the global helium business and has been for more than a decade. There's a reason for that. And a continually shifting market like this requires those insights, that intelligence, and those evolving connections within the industry on a regular basis.

Messer Americas has said that fellow industrial gas giant Air Products could deprive numerous third parties’ access to privately-owned helium stored at the Federal Helium System. “Without helium, MRI machines cannot run, semiconductor chips cannot be made, and space rockets cannot launch. Not to mention national defence, and economic security could be impacted, as the largest foreign suppliers of helium (Qatar and Russia) are subject to disruption by geopolitical events and trade restrictions.” Chris Ebeling, Executive Vice-President of Sales and Marketing at Messer Americas, noted the importance of helium for many critical industries that this could impact.

🔴 More uncertainty in Helium 🟠 Messer Americas has taken legal action to ensure continued access to the Federal Helium System, highlighting the potential disruption to key industries if helium supplies are cut off. As market uncertainties rise, this could drive contract prices up, which is beneficial for companies like VVC Resources and Proton Green, both of whom are positioned with helium and natural gas projects in their portfolios. The stability of the helium market is critical for industries such as healthcare, technology, and aerospace, making these developments important to watch. https://lnkd.in/gbVXn_-Q #Helium #NaturalGas #EnergyMarket #VVCResources #ProtonGreen #IndustrialGas
