| Why is helium our focus? Helium is a remarkable element with unique properties that make it indispensable across many applications. Its cooling capabilities are crucial in high-tech environments like server rooms and data centers, protecting sensitive electronic equipment. In welding, helium creates an inert atmosphere that ensures precision and safety. It’s also essential in scientific research and space exploration, where its low boiling point and non-reactive nature are vital for experiments and space missions. The global demand for helium is rising rapidly, far outpacing the available supply. This growing demand, combined with helium’s non-renewable nature and rarity on Earth, highlights the importance of our work at Avanti. Although helium is the second most abundant element in the universe, it’s scarce on our planet, often found in small concentrations within natural gas fields. Once released, helium escapes into the atmosphere and is lost forever, making it a resource 100 times more valuable than natural gas. At Avanti Helium, we are passionately committed to discovering and developing new helium sources, understanding that this finite resource is essential for advancing technology, science, and industry. By tapping into untapped helium reserves, we are playing a pivotal role in meeting the world’s growing helium needs, ensuring this irreplaceable element continues to fuel innovation and progress for years to come. Avanti is rapidly transitioning from an exploration company to a production company, with helium sales from our Sweetgrass pool expected to begin in early 2025. The future is bright, and we are excited to be at the forefront of this critical industry. |
