Proton Green

Proton Green is poised to become one of the leading helium producers and carbon sequestration hubs in North America. ONE OF THE LARGEST HELIUM RESERVOIRS IN NORTH AMERICA St. Johns Field is a massive helium reservoir and immense carbon storage basin located on 152,000 acres in Apache County, Arizona. Extensive third-party geological studies indicate reserves of up to 33 billion cubic feet of helium in shallow, easily accessible reservoirs. Capable of producing one billion cubic feet of helium per year, it will be among the most prolific helium production sites in the world. While most helium is extracted from natural gas deposits, the helium produced at St Johns is highly unusual in that it does not contain any hydrocarbons. As a result, the helium produced at St Johns is exceptionally clean and environmentally friendly, with a net zero carbon footprint. ONE OF THE LARGEST CARBON STORAGE HUBS IN THE WORLD In addition to its immense helium reserves, the geological characteristics of St Johns make it an ideal storage basin for carbon dioxide. With the ability to inject 22 million metric tons of CO2 per year and a total storage capacity of over 1 billion metric tons, St Johns is set to become one of the largest carbon capture sites in the world. Strategically located in the fast-growing American Southwest near several coal-fired power plants, Proton Green is well positioned to become a critical carbon sequestration hub in the region. CLEAN HYDROGEN PRODUCER Hydrogen is steadily emerging as one of the most effective fossil fuel replacements. Our processing plants are capable of producing large volumes of industrial-grade hydrogen while simultaneously sequestering the excess CO2 in underground storage basins, thereby qualifying as blue hydrogen. The hydrogen we produce can then be sold into the California markets and will be eligible for Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits as we help drive the transition toward a sustainable fuel and energy source.
