Hydrogen (H2), the first element of the periodic table, is a diatomic molecule comprising two atoms of the same element. It has no color, smell, or taste. The English physicist Henry Cavendish, in 1766, was the first to discover hydrogen gas as a discrete substance. He called it "flammable air" because of its highly explosive nature. In 2024, there is a lot of talk about hydrogen. What is hydrogen gas used for? Read this blog post to find out!
Helium, one of the most abundant natural elements, is an essential element in various industrial applications, including arc welding, semiconductor manufacturing, cryogenics, cleaning rocket fuel tanks, medical research, and as a tracer gas for detecting leaks. However, helium's versatility and high demand have made it a critical and often scarce element. Due to this, numerous industries have adopted helium recycling systems to manage, recapture, and process their helium supply to ensure sustainability. Read on to learn more!
Hydrogen has been in the news lately as an important player in the switch to clean energy. The U.S. National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap Energy identifies collaboration opportunities and needs between various industries and federal government agencies. In this blog post, we break down the roadmap, explain what it means for our industry, and explain DILO's role.
