Global Energy Monitor - Global gas pipeline expansion: Nearly US$200 billion under

These findings follow those of GEM’s January 2023 Asia is home to 14 of the 15 longest pipeline projects gas pipeline report, which indicated that China and under construction globally (Table A2), and the five India are building more gas transmission pipelines leaders in pipeline construction reflect this: China, than the rest of the world combined, and dovetails India, Iran, Russia, and Pakistan. [...] These countries — a collection of gas importers two-thirds of the planned increase in global oil- and and exporters — are gambling on more entrenched gas-fired power capacity are in Asia, where 514 fossil fuel use and encouraging other major econo- gigawatts (GW) at an estimated US$385 billion are mies to do the same, highlighting the region’s com- in development, mainly in China and Southeastern. [...] For pipelines, LNG terminals, and oil and gas fields, projects in development are shown in red, and operat- ing projects are shown in gray. [...] The midst of modernizing and expanding its gas pipeline latter consists of the Barauni-Guwahati Gas Pipeline, network, aiming to establish a National Gas Grid that slated to become operational by the end of 2023, would nearly double in size by 2025 and increase and the Jagdishpur-Haldia-Bokaro-Dhamra Natural natural gas consumption to 15% of the country’s Gas Pipeline (JHBDPL), with segments in ea. [...] Major will connect west to east, and the Kochi-Koottanad- projects under construction as of November 2023, Bangalore-Mangalore Gas Pipeline and Ennore- led by state-owned GAIL, are intended to connect the Tuticorn-Bengaluru Gas Pipeline under construction eastern and southern regions to this grid.
