Article on Helium Shortage Interesting read on accelerating helium shortage. Outlines how due to the Russia-Ukraine situation the new helium facility in Russia which was supposed to supply of the world's helium is halted and how we need helium more than ever for essential things like MRIs.
I’ve been following RHC.v RHCCF who will be in production next year. They most recently awarded a construction contract for the Steveville 14-12 Helium Recovery Plant where operating throughput will be in the range of 10-15 million cubic feet/day producing a purity level of 99.999% helium.
40% of the plant's capacity will go to the major North American space launch company RHC signed a long-term agreement with back in August.
