澳大利亚在停产三年后重新开启氦气生产。Gold Hydrogen公司在南澳大利亚约克半岛的Ramsay 1工地周末成功提取了氦气，这是自2023年达尔文生产工厂关闭以来澳洲首次恢复氦气生产1。全球氦气供应短缺的背景下，这一进展为该国重振氦气产业带来希望。
全球氦气市场面临严峻形势。约三分之一的全球氦气供应因伊朗导弹袭击卡塔尔Ras Laffan天然气工厂在3月份而被中断1。鉴于氦气在医疗领域的关键作用，Gold Hydrogen首席执行官Neil McDonald表示，"MRI无法在没有氦气的情况下运作"1。氦气作为世界第二轻的气体，一旦从地下提取就会浮入大气中，成为有限资源1。该公司计划在18个月内实现商业供应1，Ramsay项目所覆盖的约克半岛租约区域面积达75,000平方公里1。
Gold Hydrogen has successfully extracted helium at the Ramsay 1 site on South Australia's Yorke Peninsula, marking the first helium production in Australia since the Darwin production facility closed in 2023 1. The extraction represents a significant development as global helium supplies face unprecedented pressure following Iranian missile strikes on Qatar's Ras Laffan natural gas facility in March, which disrupted approximately one-third of worldwide helium supply 1.
The company plans to commence commercial supply within 18 months 1. Gold Hydrogen Chief Executive Neil McDonald emphasized the critical nature of helium, stating that "MRI machines cannot operate without helium" 1. The Ramsay project operates across a 75,000-square-kilometre leasehold area on the Yorke Peninsula 1. Helium is the world's second-lightest gas and, once extracted from underground, floats into the atmosphere, making it a finite resource 1.
