Proposed gas pipeline capacity data measures potential daily throughput in barrels of oil equivalent, sourced from the Global Fossil Infrastructure Tracker (GFIT). The GFIT compiles information on fossil fuel infrastructure projects exceeding a specific size threshold globally. This snapshot was generated from GFIT data accessed in July 2021.
Use Cases
- Analyzing regional disparities in proposed fossil fuel transport capacity using the 'capacity' column measured in barrels of oil equivalent per day.
- Tracking the development lifecycle of energy infrastructure projects by filtering on the 'project status' field to isolate proposed pipelines.
- Modeling potential greenhouse gas emissions from planned infrastructure by combining 'capacity' data with project location and fuel type.
- Geographically visualizing proposed pipeline routes and their aggregate capacity using the underlying geospatial coordinates from the GFIT map interface.
Strengths
- Data originates from the Global Fossil Infrastructure Tracker, a specialized resource for fossil fuel projects.
- Includes a global scope of oil and gas transmission pipelines over a pre-determined size threshold.
- Provides data in both interactive map and table formats with filtering options.
Limitations
- Data snapshot is from July 2021 and may not reflect recent project cancellations or approvals.
- Exact row count, column details, and specific size thresholds are unknown.
- Limited to pipelines over a certain size, excluding smaller distribution networks.
