The global helium market has always run on a narrow margin of supply security, and over recent years we’ve seen just how narrow this is. With four named helium shortages and current geopolitical tensions threatening another, that risk is still far more than a theoretical concern.

But looking to plug that gap is a new generation of helium explorers, working across North America, East Africa and beyond to bring new, diverse sources of supply online. Some are years away from production, while others are on their way to commercial scale.

Access to finance and investment will play a critical role in determining which projects can progress from exploration to commercial production. With significant capital required to develop projects, we’ll also examine what investors are looking for in the emerging helium sector, where the financing opportunities and challenges lie, and what it will take to turn promising resources into reliable sources of supply.

In this gasworld webinar, we’ll look at how a new wave of helium exploration companies are working to secure the world’s helium future – discussing the realities, risks and strategic decisions shaping the industry.
