The Future Outlook for Krypton Gas Usage

 

 

With growing adoption of energy efficient construction and lighting, along with maturing excimer laser technologies, the specialized applications for krypton gas look set to expand further:

 

 

  • Lighting – Greater LED lighting efficiency may enable more exotic krypton lamps and tubes.

  • Windows – Stricter building codes will drive usage of krypton-insulated window units.

  • Lasers – Smaller krypton-based UV lasers will find roles in medicine, spectroscopy, and microelectronics.

  • Imaging – Krypton isotopes and discharge tubes may enable novel imaging techniques.

  • Aerospace – Lightweight krypton tanks may replace xenon for Hall effect thrusters in satellites.

  • Supply – Improved air separation techniques can provide more krypton to meet demand growth.

 

 

Rising krypton utilization will need to be balanced with responsible stewardship however, as it remains a limited natural resource. Nevertheless, this noble gas looks poised to illuminate new capabilities across several high-tech fields.
