RENERGEN BEGINS COMMERCIAL LIQUID HELIUM SALES

Renergen has reached a significant milestone in its operations with the successful commencement of commercial liquid helium sales. The company proudly announced that it has filled a helium container with liquid helium for the first time, and the product is being collected by the customer today.

This achievement follows a series of challenges faced in cooling large iso-containers to the extreme temperatures required for liquid helium storage at -269 degrees Celsius. In response, Renergen implemented an effective alternative solution, opting to fill smaller Dewars (ranging from 250 to 500 litres) with liquid helium. This practical approach will be maintained until the plant operates closer to its full capacity.

The process began on March 13 at 9:00 AM when the vessel was initiated for cooling. The filling process was completed successfully by mid-afternoon the same day. Notably, the quality of both Renergen’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquid helium now surpasses minimum design specifications, further solidifying the company’s commitment to excellence.

Stefano Marani, CEO of Renergen, emphasized the importance of this accomplishment in the company’s journey. “This achievement represents a concrete step toward rebuilding the trust placed in us — a commitment we take seriously. Our operations team has poured their hearts and souls into overcoming these technical challenges,” Marani stated. “Successfully managing cryogenic liquid at -269 degrees Celsius is a remarkable accomplishment achieved by very few companies worldwide. We remain committed to restoring confidence through consistent delivery and performance as we continue to advance the Virginia Gas Project.”

As Renergen continues to scale its production, the company remains dedicated to unlocking the full potential of the Virginia Gas Project, paving the way for greater contributions to the global helium supply chain.
