Global fossil fuel infrastructure data provides gas pipeline capacity measured in barrels of oil equivalent per day for projects with an operating status. The dataset was generated from the Global Fossil Infrastructure Tracker (GFIT) by the Country Climate and Development Report organization, with GFIT data accessed in July 2021.
Use Cases
- Analyze regional energy transport density by aggregating capacity values for operating pipelines.
- Benchmark pipeline project scale by comparing capacity figures in barrels of oil equivalent per day.
- Model supply chain dependencies by mapping operating pipeline capacity against production and consumption centers.
Strengths
- Global coverage of oil and gas transmission pipelines exceeding a pre-determined size threshold.
- Data includes interactive map and table formats with filtering options and links to detailed project wikis.
Limitations
- Dataset scope is limited to operating project status, excluding planned or under-construction pipelines.
- Data snapshot is from July 2021, making it stale for current market analysis.
- Specific row count, column details, and sample size are unknown.
