New Era Helium, Inc. (NEH) has successfully closed its business combination with Roth CH Acquisition V Co., marking a significant development in the helium and natural gas production sector. The transaction, approved by stockholders on November 26, 2024, positions NEH as a formidable player in the industry, with its common stock and public warrants expected to commence trading on Nasdaq under the symbols ‘NEHC’ and ‘NEHCW’, respectively.
The newly combined entity, operating under the name ‘New Era Helium, Inc.’, brings to the table an impressive portfolio of assets, including over 137,000 acres in Southeast New Mexico and 1.5 billion cubic feet of proved and probable helium reserves. This strategic positioning is particularly noteworthy given the anticipated surge in demand for helium, driven by the growth of data centers powering artificial intelligence technologies.
In a move that underscores its commitment to innovation and sustainability, NEH recently announced a non-binding joint venture with Sharon AI, Inc. to construct a 90MW net-zero Tier 3 data center within the Permian Basin. This state-of-the-art facility aims to leverage NEH’s extensive helium and natural gas reserves while incorporating cutting-edge liquid-cooling technology and sustainable energy practices. The project is expected to offset approximately 250,000 metric tons of CO2 annually through carbon capture technology, highlighting NEH’s dedication to environmentally responsible operations.
The Nasdaq listing is anticipated to enhance NEH’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 rapidly evolving market landscape.
E. Will Gray II, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of New Era Helium, expressed enthusiasm about the company’s future prospects, 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 completion of this business combination and subsequent Nasdaq listing comes at a critical juncture for the helium industry. As demand for helium continues to rise, driven by its essential role in various high-tech applications including MRI machines, semiconductor manufacturing, and space exploration, NEH’s expanded operations and strategic partnerships position it to capitalize on these market trends.
Investors and industry observers will likely be watching closely to see how New Era Helium leverages its newly acquired status and resources to drive growth and innovation in the helium and natural gas sectors. The company’s focus on sustainable practices and its involvement in cutting-edge data center technology suggest a forward-thinking approach that could set new standards for the industry.
As New Era Helium begins this new chapter as a publicly traded company on Nasdaq, its progress will be of interest not only to those in the energy sector but also to stakeholders in the technology and sustainability fields. The company’s ability to execute its growth strategy and deliver on its promises of innovation and environmental responsibility will be crucial factors in determining its long-term success and impact on the industry landscape.
