What is helium and how is it produced?
Helium is the second-most abundant element in the universe, just after hydrogen. That makes sense given their simplicity – hydrogen has an atomic weight of one, meaning it has just one proton, and helium is close behind with an atomic weight of two.
Unfortunately, helium is relatively rare on Earth. It doesn’t react with other gases and is extremely light, which is part of its usefulness. However, that also means there isn’t much to hold it in our atmosphere; once released into the air, it just drifts off into space.
Helium One Global Ltd (LON:HE1) was founded in September 2015. The Company’s focus is to explore, develop, and ultimately, become a producer of high-grade helium for the international market, a critical material essential in modern technologies.
