A recent study found that hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or HBOT, has a significant impact on the cognitive and behavioral function of 8-to-15-year-old children experiencing persistent post-concussion syndrome. As a medical-grade O2 distributor, CalOx is proud to help make breakthroughs like this possible.

Japanese start-up Iwaya Giken recently announced a project more than 10 years in the making–a helium-powered spacecraft that aims to make space tourism more accessible. At CalOx, we’re inspired by this innovative use of helium gas.

As a top supplier of liquid nitrogen in the Los Angeles area, we at CalOx want to recognize the work of Washington State university researchers who utilized it in a super innovative way – to remove moon dust from spacesuits and equipment.

Did you know there are now more than 20 types of water? And that the ice in our freezers isn’t the only kind that exists? Researchers recently discovered a new ice that was created using liquid nitrogen. As liquid nitrogen suppliers, we at CalOx think this research is pretty amazing.

As the war in Ukraine rages on, its citizens are facing a critical oxygen shortage. The WHO and USAID have sent, but delivery difficulties persist. As a reliable supplier of oxygen, CalOx stands with those who are suffering as a result of the shortage.

As a reliable supplier of CO2, CalOx is excited to see where the future of carbon will take us. That’s why we were chuffed to learn about an innovative new partnership between two major energy suppliers, Energie 360° and TES, which are teaming up to create synthetic methane using green hydrogen and CO2.

Helium doesn’t just fill birthday balloons It’s also an absolutely vital resource for the medical industry, making the global shortage of it concerning. However, researchers may have just laid the groundwork to extract large quantities of the gas in a more sustainable way. CalOx will be following the progress of this tech while continuing to supply our customers with high-quality helium worry-free.

Carbon capture is all the rage in the energy supply and manufacturing industries. But, what is it, and how does it work? While CO-2 is important for plant life and manufacturing processes (not to mention adding fizz to our favorite beverages), too much of it in the atmosphere is a key reason behind global warming. As a reliable supplier of sustainable carbon dioxide, we’re excited to see how carbon capture technology progresses.

The market value for portable oxygen cylinders is projected to exceed $4 billion by 2027. But, why? And what does this mean for medical-grade oxygen manufacturers and suppliers? We discuss this, as well as CalOx’s dedication and preparedness to meet the increased demand in the coming years.

Let’s give this beautiful planet a break. That very sentiment is driving a revolutionary disruption in the travel industry: cruise ships powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) and hydrogen. As a gas supplier that deeply values sustainable practices, CalOx was thrilled to learn about this innovative trend that will significantly reduce emissions—and create a brighter future for us all.
