Shares of Air Products & Chemicals, Inc. (NYSE:APD), inclined 0.78% to $140.04, during its current trading session.
Air Products (APD), a global leader in helium production, recently held a grand opening at its new Doe Canyon helium production facility in Colorado. The Doe Canyon helium plant is the only one in the world extracting helium from a gas stream composed primarily of carbon dioxide (CO2). The helium from this new facility further diversifies Air Products’ supply chain to ensure a reliable and stable supply of product for its customers.
Much of the helium produced in the United States recently comes from the United States Bureau of Land Administration (BLM) system, however, the BLM system is in decline, and eventually that storage supply will be depleted. At the same time, the world’s demand for helium is likely to continue to grow and is why new sources of helium are needed. The purified helium at the new Colorado facility will be liquefied on-site for subsequent delivery to Air Products’ customers. The plant is predictable to produce up to 230 million standard cubic feet of helium per year, replacing more than 15 percent of the current BLM reserve helium supply as that system declines.
