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, who 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 CO2 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: liquefied natural gas (LNG)- and hydrogen-powered cruise ships. 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.

Global organizations are providing critical medical relief, including medical oxygen, after the Turkey and Syria earthquake. Medical oxygen is vital to treat patients and support breathing. CalOx is well-equipped to meet the increasing need for transportable medical oxygen.

Carbonated Beverage stocks outperformed the market this year. The popularity of sparkling beverages is expected to grow through the 2020s. CalOx is well positioned to meet the growing demand for CO2 and other custom food-grade carbonation gases.

Anesthesiologists in the UK are looking to reduce their impact on the environment by phasing out the use of desflurane, an anesthetic agent that has a global warming potential 2,500 times greater than CO2. CalOX supplies environmentally friendly, safe alternatives to this gas.

Cryogenics is the process of preserving a person’s body after they die by cooling it to very low temperatures using liquid nitrogen, in hopes that future technology will allow for revival. It’s growing in popularity. CalOx is ready to supply liquid nitrogen for this industry.

Due to shutdowns at New Zealand’s only food-grade CO2 production facility, the island nation has been forced to ration its CO2 supply.
