China, India lead gas pipeline construction in 2022: Global Energy Monitor

The two markets are estimated to account for more than US$40b of construction costs.

China and India led the global gas transmission pipeline construction in 2020, which saw a 9% year-on-year increase, Global Energy Monitor reported.

According to its Global Gas Infrastructure Tracker, China currently has 17,800 kilometres of gas pipeline in construction with an estimated cost of US$21.9b.

India, meanwhile, has a 14,300-km pipeline build-out worth US$20.7b. This is followed by Iran, Russia, and Pakistan

“Building more gas pipelines when the world needs to urgently quit fossil fuels is a worrying trend. This infrastructure risks becoming a stranded asset as countries move towards renewable energy systems,” Baird Langenbrunner, Project Manager for the Global Gas Infrastructure Tracker, said.

Globally, there are 59,100 km of gas transmission pipelines under construction and an additional 151,300 km of proposed pipelines.

These pipelines are estimated to cost US$533.6b in capital expenditure.
