Since the helium extraction project of Shanxi Fengsheng Energy Technology Co., Ltd. was put into production, it has continued to carry out technical research and development and iterative upgrades of core processes. At 9:36 am on March 26, 2025, it successfully produced 99.9999% (6N grade) ultra-high purity helium. This marks that Fengsheng Company has made significant technological progress in the field of helium purification, maximized the application of natural gas resources, provided a new way to obtain helium resources, and injected "Chinese confidence" into my country's strategic emerging industries.
Technological breakthrough: Four-dimensional purification technology conquers "gaseous rare earths"
As the "industrial blood", helium is a core strategic resource for the operation of semiconductor lithography, nuclear magnetic resonance and other equipment. Previously, 95% of my country's high-purity helium gas was imported, with annual import volume exceeding 20 million cubic meters. The "membrane separation + PSA + alloy dehydrogenation + low-temperature purification" coalbed methane helium extraction technology pioneered by Fengsheng Company has built a world-leading purification process chain, overcomes the technological gap in the global coalbed methane helium extraction field, and achieved an industrial transition from "gas rare earth" to "strategic reserve".
Strategic Layout: Building an Independent and Controllable Full Industrial Chain
Shanxi Fengsheng Energy will take breakthroughs in 6N-grade ultra-high-purity helium mass production technology as a strategic pivot to build a helium "production-storage-supply-sales" full industrial chain and become a leader in the development of my country's helium industry. We will use innovation to drive development, continuously optimize helium extraction technology, break international monopoly, strengthen strategic reserves, and build new industry formats. It will gradually improve the resilience of the industrial chain of strategic emerging industries, promote the cluster development of my country's helium-related high-tech industries, and make "Chinese gas" a new productivity engine that supports the iterative upgrading of the country's strategic emerging industries.
