RENERGEN, the Free State’s natural gas and helium producer, has announced that with the production of first liquid helium at its Virginia Gas Project, it has now become the world’s newest producer of liquid helium. The helium module is now operational and being optimised.
“Having the helium plant in operation and producing liquid helium is a truly spectacular achievement by the team who went above and beyond to achieve the major and critical milestone. All components of the Phase 1 plant are now in operation, and South Africa joins the ranks of only eight countries in the world to produce this rare and valuable liquid,” said Stefano Marani, CEO of Renergen.
