Best Answer

Helium must be extracted from natural gas because it is present in air at only a fraction of that of neon, yet the demand for it is far higher. Helium can be synthesized by bombardment of lithium or boron with high-velocity protons, but economically, this is a completely non-viable method of production.

To store it, you would put the gas into a highly pressurized tank.
