The New Frontier of Helium Exploration w. Chris Bakker

When most of us think of the helium industry, we generally go straight to balloons and funny voices. 

In today’s episode, we get together with Chris Bakker to discuss helium’s many uses in a variety of fields, from healthcare to high tech, and why there’s no real substitute for it. Chris is the CEO of Avanti Energy Inc., has had a long career in oil and gas, and is also an economist, placing him in a unique position to capitalize on helium discovery and exploration.

We discuss helium’s unique attributes, like the fact that it only enters the liquid phase at the incredibly low temperature of −269 °C, and unlike hydrogen, is non-combustible. Chris expands on helium’s place in the market and explains why the price of helium is likely to be more volatile in future due to the American government foregoing their helium reserves in 2021, allowing the free market to effectively take over. Chris is working at the frontier of a new field of exploration and is excited about the future.

We hope you find this conversation as fascinating as we did!
