Helium is undergoing a marked transformation in its role within global trade. It is now becoming a strategic industrial input, driven by rising demand across manufacturing, technology, and energy systems.
The growing demand for helium is directly linked to its unique physical properties. As an inert, non-flammable gas with the lowest boiling point of any element, helium is critical for advanced cooling applications. It is used to maintain the ultra-low temperatures needed in systems such as superconducting magnets, MRI machines, space technologies, and emerging fields like quantum computing. In many of these areas, helium has no practical substitute, making supply security more important than cost alone.
Helium is essential in fibre optics and semiconductor manufacturing, where it enables precision processes and helps maintain stable production environments. It is also widely used in leak detection, welding, and high-purity environments required in aerospace and defence. These applications are growing in scale as industries shift towards higher-tech production and as global electrification accelerates.
General Helium Inc is an emerging helium production company led by experienced oil and gas industry veterans. Focused on developing existing resources rather than exploration, GH prioritizes generating free cash flow.
