The impact of helium shortages on basic research
Helium is non-renewable. It is used in many areas of scientific research but demand is fast outstripping supply. We must adapt, and quickly.
Phasing out the U.S. Federal Helium Reserve: Policy insights from a world helium model
This paper develops a detailed partial equilibrium model of the global helium market to study the effects of the recently decided rapid phase out of the U.S. Federal Helium Reserve (FHR), a vast… Expand

Beyond the Helium Conundrum
Helium plays a central role in superconductivity. Despite breakthroughs in high-temperature superconducting materials, helium remains the coolant of choice. Against this there is concern about helium… Expand
Could the extensive use of rare elements in renewable energy technologies become a cause for concern
The energy transformation process beginning to take place in many countries as a response to climate change will reduce substantially the consumption of fossil fuels, but at the same time cause a… Expand
A mixed-integer programming strategy for liquid helium global supply chain planning
TLDR
A large-scale, discrete time, path-based integer-programming model is developed which solves optimally with CPLEX, and results implementing a rolling horizon structure and testing based on historical data are presented. Expand
Membranes for helium recovery: An overview on the context, materials and future directions
Abstract Helium demand is expected to double within the next two decades given its essential role as a cryogenic fluid and an inert gas in various technological applications whereas its production… Expand
Reduced Use of Fossil Fuels can Reduce Supply of Critical Resources
Previous research has identified that climate change mitigation policies could increase demand for resources perceived as critical, because these are used in many renewable energy technologies. This… Expand
