"We've already started to take orders for this product. So we're ready to start going into production in the next few days," Renergen CEO Stefano Marani told journalists at the demo-launch event.
Marani said the company had also received multiple expressions of interests and order requests from all over the world. "Our biggest challenges ... we've got very high ambient temperatures in South Africa, we've got long distances to travel and often when you get to the point of vaccination there is a lack of infrastructure. There could be load shedding," he said.
Marani said because liquid helium is only a fraction of the weight of liquid nitrogen, it will significantly reduce airfreight distribution costs and can accommodate up to 12 times more vials per flight compared to other solutions based on current flight safety regulations.
