July 2021 data on global gas pipeline capacity measured in barrels of oil equivalent per day, specifically for projects with a mothballed status. The data is generated from the Global Fossil Infrastructure Tracker (GFIT) by the Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) organization. It includes projects over a pre-determined size threshold, providing details on pipeline routes and terminal locations.
Use Cases
- Analyze the geographic distribution of mothballed pipeline capacity using location and route data.
- Assess the scale of potentially stranded fossil fuel assets by aggregating capacity values.
- Model future energy supply scenarios by comparing mothballed capacity with active and planned project statuses.
- Study the correlation between project mothballing and regional energy policy changes using project-specific metadata.
Strengths
- Data sourced from the Global Fossil Infrastructure Tracker, a dedicated resource for fossil fuel projects.
- Includes a global scope of projects exceeding a defined size threshold.
- Provides both tabular data and interactive geographic visualization of pipeline routes.
Limitations
- Data is a snapshot from July 2021 and may not reflect current project statuses.
- Sample size and specific row count for mothballed projects are unknown.
- Limited to projects above a certain size, excluding smaller infrastructure.
