East Greenland has entered a new chapter in Arctic security planning, drawing fresh attention to a region where Pulsar Helium holds a wholly owned helium and geothermal project.
BBC News reported this week on an agreement that could expand the US military presence in Greenland. Signed by Greenland, Denmark and the United States on 22 September 2026, the agreement provides for additional US defense areas at Narsarsuaq in the south and Mestersvig in the east, subject to technical details and arrangements still to be agreed.
Pulsar was the first company licensed to explore for helium in Greenland and holds an exclusive mineral exploration license covering the Tunu license area at 62 km2. Its position gives investors exposure to a rare primary helium occurrence alongside the possibility of geothermal power generation in the same project.
The Tunu Project is situated near Ittoqqortoormiit and Scoresby Sound. Mestersvig lies approximately 125 miles (200 km) north-northwest of Ittoqqortoormiit, and the agreement does not designate Pulsar’s license area as a defense area. Nevertheless, any future expansion of activity in East Greenland could bring greater attention to the region’s infrastructure, energy needs and critical resources.
At Tunu, samples from thermal springs have recorded helium concentrations of up to 0.8%, in gases that are not associated with hydrocarbons. Pulsar’s subsequent seismic, surface mapping and thermal surveys have helped refine its understanding of the system ahead of drilling. An independent Sproule-ERCE pre-feasibility assessment also identified potential for an integrated development combining geothermal power and helium recovery, subject to further technical work and confirmation of reservoir conditions.
That combination presents a longer-term possibility worth acknowledging. If future defense and supporting industrial facilities create demand for reliable energy or specialist gases in East Greenland, locally developed resources could become relevant. Whether Tunu could serve such demand would depend on the project’s exploration results, commercial development, infrastructure and the specific needs and decisions of the relevant authorities.
For Pulsar, it brings renewed visibility to an East Greenland project with two potential sources of value: primary helium and geothermal energy.
Tunu remains at the exploration stage, but successful drilling and further technical work could establish whether those resources can underpin an integrated development serving Greenlandic communities and, potentially, wider markets. As East Greenland’s strategic importance grows, the results of that work may matter to a broader range of future energy and industrial users.
