Gas pipeline capacity data measures planned infrastructure in barrels of oil equivalent per day, specifically for projects with a 'Cancelled' status. The dataset is derived from the Global Fossil Infrastructure Tracker, which catalogs major global fossil fuel projects. Data was compiled by the Country Climate and Development Report organization, with the source tracker accessed in July 2021.
Use Cases
- Analyze trends in cancelled pipeline capacity by region using the project status and geography fields.
- Model investment risk by correlating project status with other economic indicators available in the tracker.
- Assess potential stranded assets by mapping cancelled project capacity against pipeline route geospatial data.
Strengths
- Data sourced from the Global Fossil Infrastructure Tracker, a specialized resource for major fossil fuel projects.
- Includes a specific filter for 'Cancelled' project status, enabling focused analysis.
Limitations
- Dataset snapshot is from July 2021, making the data over two years old at time of description.
- Specific row count, column details, and sample data are unavailable for verification.
Provenance
- Source
- Global Fossil Infrastructure Tracker (GFIT) accessed via GEM.wiki.
- Collection Method
- Extracted from the GFIT table and map interface, which aggregates project data over a pre-determined size threshold.
- Time Range
- Snapshot from July 2021; specific project timeline coverage is unknown.
- Freshness
- null
- Geography
- Global coverage for oil and gas transmission pipelines meeting size criteria.
