About

The Global Gas Infrastructure Tracker (GGIT) is a resource for researchers, communities, activists, and students who would like to learn more about natural gas infrastructure around the world. It serves as a surveillance system for planned and existing projects, enabling users to track locations, status, size, history, ownership, and industry trends. Currently the tracker includes gas pipelines and liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals.

Filtering

The tracker organizes information in both a map and table format. Projects can be filtered in the following ways:

• Status Category: To select one or more status categories, click one or more checkboxes, such as “Operating” and/or “Proposed.”
• Facility Type: To select one or more types of facilities, click one or more checkboxes such as “Gas Pipelines.”
• Company: To find a particular company’s facilities, type the company’s name in the “Filter the map” box. For example, type Enbridge.
• Country: To find a particular country’s facilities, type the name of the country in the “Filter the map” box. For example, type India.
• Country Zoom: To zoom the map to a particular country, click directly on that country in the global map view.

Research

The tracker was designed and produced by Global Energy Monitor, an organization developing collaborative resources on the global energy system. Researchers who have contributed to GGIT include Greig Aitken, Sophia Bauer, James Browning, Natalie Cherot, Gregor Clark, Hanna Fralikhina, Joshua Frank, Christina Haidar, Erik Hazard, Mason Inman, Ben Inskeep, Ahna Kruciz, Baird Langenbrunner, Ted Nace, Lydia Plante, Aiqun Qu, Christine Shearer, Janna Smith, Adrian Wilson, and Scott Zimmerman. Web/GIS programming is done by Tom Allnutt of GreenInfo Network.

How to use this map

The tracker uses a two-level system for organizing information. Summary information including the project name and type, reported capacity and units, country or countries (if a transnational pipeline), and corporate ownership is found on the maps and table. For further detail and footnoted references, each project is linked to a page on GEM.wiki.
