New Era Helium, Inc. (NEH) has successfully closed its business combination with Roth CH Acquisition V Co., marking a significant milestone in the company’s growth trajectory. The transaction, which was approved by stockholders on November 26, 2024, positions NEH as a prominent player in the helium and natural gas production industry, with its shares set to trade on the Nasdaq under the symbols ‘NEHC’ and ‘NEHCW’ for common stock and public warrants, respectively.
The completion of this business combination comes at a crucial time for the helium industry, which is experiencing increased demand driven by the growth of data centers powering artificial intelligence. New Era Helium is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend, boasting over 137,000 acres in Southeast New Mexico and 1.5 billion cubic feet of proved and probable helium reserves.
E. Will Gray II, Chairman and CEO of New Era Helium, emphasized the significance of the Nasdaq listing, stating, ‘Our Nasdaq listing marks a significant moment in our corporate journey, enhancing our public profile within the industry, and broadening our reach to institutional investors in the AI datacenter, and Helium markets.’
The company’s strategic positioning is further bolstered by its recent announcement of a non-binding joint venture with Sharon AI, Inc. This partnership aims to construct a 90MW net-zero Tier 3 data center within the Permian Basin, combining Sharon AI’s expertise in high-performance computing with NEH’s extensive helium and natural gas reserves. The proposed facility is designed to be powered by sustainable energy and is expected to offset approximately 250,000 metric tons of CO2 annually through carbon capture technology.
This joint venture underscores New Era Helium’s commitment to sustainable innovation and its potential to play a significant role in the growing intersection of energy infrastructure and advanced computing. The company’s ability to supply helium, a critical component in cooling systems for high-performance computers, positions it as a key player in supporting the expansion of AI-driven technologies.
The Nasdaq listing is anticipated to enhance New Era Helium’s visibility and attract U.S. investors interested in energy infrastructure and sustainable innovation. This increased exposure could prove crucial as the company seeks to establish itself as a leading consolidator of helium and natural gas production in a market poised for significant growth.
As the demand for helium continues to rise, particularly in the tech sector, New Era Helium’s extensive reserves and strategic partnerships position it to potentially benefit from market trends. The company’s focus on sustainable practices, as evidenced by its planned net-zero data center, aligns with growing investor interest in environmentally responsible energy solutions.
The successful completion of the business combination and subsequent Nasdaq listing represent a new chapter for New Era Helium. As the company moves forward, industry observers will be watching closely to see how it leverages its assets and partnerships to capitalize on the increasing demand for helium in high-tech applications.
For investors and industry stakeholders, New Era Helium’s progress serves as a notable development in the evolving landscape of energy resources and technological infrastructure. The company’s ability to bridge traditional natural gas production with cutting-edge AI applications could potentially set a new standard for innovation in the sector.
