While this gasworld supplement is primarily dedicated to the subject of helium, I am describing opportunities in the carbon dioxide (CO2) industry, with insight into the Air Products helium recovery operation from a natural CO2...
From its usage in welding and cutting, fibre optics, electronics, aerospace and leak-testing applications, to its publicly recognisable role in balloon inflation, helium has typically been a gas in increasing demand.
It’s well documented that the helium shortages of recent years have driven a trend for product conservation, recovery and recycling; the softened helium demand coming out of the shortages has been a recurring topic in...
The high-strength properties of carbon fibre that have propelled airplane and automotive manufacturers to build lighter, stronger and more efficient products is now at the front door of gas manufacturers and distributors.
Mastering fusion on Earth would pave the way for unlimited energy resources, such is the magnitude of its development. Controlled fusion is in fact one of the most promising paths to carbon-free energy – and...
The emergence and adoption of LNG as a fuel has undoubtedly provided those in the cryogenic equipment manufacturing industry with a boom in business considering cryogenic equipment is essential to ship the product worldwide by...
When Linde announced in mid-March that it had been awarded multiple gas and chemical supply contracts for a number of world leading photovoltaic (PV) cell manufacturer’s first plants in South East Asia, it threw fresh...
With today’s global merchant carbon dioxide (CO2) market estimated to be over 20 million tonnes of annual consumption, the US still leads the way, with estimated usage over 40% of this grand total. Then, markets...
Cryogenic liquified gases are stored and supplied at a temperature close to their boiling point so that any pressure drop or heat input usually causes partial evaporation and produces an indefinite quantity of gas.
When more than 100 delegates from 16 countries gathered in London, UK for the first ever Global Helium Summit in June 2013, the trends, technologies and dynamics of the helium supply chain were in focus...
