At a time when both suppliers and manufacturing end-users of helium continue to face a critical supply shortage, Air Products, a global leader in helium production, continues to take actions to improve future supply reliability for its customers by “thinking outside-the-box” to develop new source opportunities.
Air Products today announced a new project targeting the extraction of helium from a naturally occurring underground carbon dioxide (CO2) gas source that is being processed by Kinder Morgan CO2 Company, LP at a facility in Doe Canyon, Colorado. Helium production at Doe Canyon is expected to begin in the spring of 2015.
