Global Gas Pipeline Capacity by Development Status

Gas pipeline capacity data, measured in barrels of oil equivalent per day, tracks proposed and under-construction projects worldwide. The dataset originates from the Global Fossil Infrastructure Tracker, which was accessed in July 2021. It is provided by the Country Climate and Development Report organization.

Use Cases

• Analyze regional distribution of proposed pipeline capacity using project location and status fields.
• Model future gas supply additions by aggregating capacity values for projects under construction.
• Assess investment risk by comparing capacity figures across different development stages.
• Integrate pipeline capacity data with other energy datasets using geographic coordinates for spatial analysis.

Strengths

• Data covers all global oil and gas transmission pipelines exceeding a pre-determined size threshold.
• Includes projects in two distinct development phases: proposed and construction.

Limitations

• Data snapshot is from July 2021, making it temporally stale for current analysis.
• Specific row count, column details, and sample data are unavailable for assessment.
• Limited to projects over a certain size, excluding smaller pipeline infrastructure.
