Cylinder bundles of 16 bottles
from 135Nm3
Tube trailer
until 5500Nm3
Our helium qualities
Gaseous helium at +95%*
Ideal for balloons, airships, and leak detection.
Gaseous helium at +99%*
Suitable for most applications in gaseous form and also ideal for liquefaction.
Grade 5.0 helium
European native helium
Available from 2028
* residual compounds—mainly air
A clear observation: 99% of the helium consumed in Europe is imported.
Today, Western Europe is dependent on helium imports, mainly from the United States, Qatar and Algeria.
Our answer?
Producing helium as close as possible to where it is needed, within Europe. As a player involved in the entire supply chain — exploration, production, distribution, recycling — 45-8 ENERGY is transforming helium supply into a more local, competitive, and sustainable solution.
Ensure a secure supply of helium at a competitive price
Benefit from eco-friendly helium “Made in Europe”
Reduce your carbon footprint with European and/or recycled helium
Choose helium with a carbon footprint up to 4 times lower* than imported helium!
European production of native helium “Made in Germany” and “Made in France”
Our exploration and production sites are located in France and Germany. We offer local, sovereign helium at a price that is independent of global market fluctuations.
Our production sites :
- Fonts-Bouillants (France)
- Brimir (Germany)
- Avant-Monts franc-comtois (France)
Complete control of the value chain, from exploration to distribution, with integrated national logistics.

A first in Europe: recycled helium
This is a major innovation for the industry: recycled helium distribution is now possible for the first time in Europe.
By choosing recycled helium, you are actively contribute to an eco-responsible approach. Give this precious gas a second life while benefiting from the same unique properties as native helium. A sustainable and reliable solution, without compromising on quality.
You can buy recycled helium, but also sell your degraded helium! Discover RECYCL’He, our helium recovery and recycling service.

Reduce your carbon footprint with our helium solutions
By choosing European and/or recycled helium, you are taking concrete action to protect the planet. Our life cycle assessments (LCA), which comply with ISO 14040 and 14044 standards, reveal that:
- Helium produced in Germany has a carbon footprint that is up to 80% lower than imported helium.
- Recycled helium reduces the carbon impact by 2 to 4 times* compared to imported helium.
* The carbon impact depends on several factors: geographical distance, recovered volume, quality of the recovered helium, etc.
During the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, we recovered and recycled 96% of the 6,000 m3 of helium used for the balloon supporting the Olympic cauldron. This operation made it possible to preserve a volume of helium and allow it to be reused. By giving this helium a second life, it has a carbon impact 3.3 times lower than imported helium.
Why choose 45-8 ENERGY?
Security of supply
Thanks to local production and control over the entire value chain
Price stability
That remains independent of fluctuations in the global helium market
Synergy
Between native helium and recycling
Flexibility
With tailor-made solutions according to your needs
Eco-responsible commitment
Drastically simplifying the helium value chain and contributing to the preservation of this rare resource.
* According to the LCA carried out in accordance with ISO 14040 and 14044 standards, which compares the carbon impact of the helium offered by 45-8 ENERGY with that of traditionally imported helium. The reduction in carbon impact depends on several factors: distance between production and customer delivery, volume, helium quality, etc.
