Global Energy Monitor

Renewables: Global Energy Monitor's renewables program includes two forthcoming projects, the Global Solar Power Tracker (GSPT) and the Global Wind Power Tracker (GWPT). Together, these projects will provide a detailed overview of solar and wind power infrastructure around the world. The trackers will provide interactive maps and tables on GEM's public website. The maps and tables will allow users to see the location and satellite imagery of individual facilities and to click on links providing footnoted wiki pages on each facility. Tracker data will also be provided in spreadsheet format to researchers at nonprofit groups, universities, international agencies, and media organizations. The trackers will be updated twice per year and findings will be publicized in regular reports.Open Data: Global Energy Monitor's open data program includes all efforts to bring information about energy to a broad public audience, free of charge. The program includes Global Energy Monitor Wiki, a website containing more than 28,000 freely available pages cataloging a large proportion of the global energy system, including resource reserves, extraction operations, transportation systems, power plants, ownership, financing, and more.

Coal: Global Energy Monitor's coal program includes a global coal plant database, a global coal mine database, a global coal public finance database, and a weekly newsletter. GEM's Global Coal Plant Tracker (GCPT) is a database containing information on over 13,000 existing, proposed, and retired coal-fired generating units worldwide. GEM's Global Coal Mine Tracker (GCMT) provide coverage of more than 3,000 major global coal mines which cumulatively account for 7.1 billion tonnes of coal production each year. GEM's Global Coal Public Finance Tracker (GCPFT) shows major government financing for global coal projects in over 40 countries, covering all projects since 2013 which have received or are likely to receive public support, including proposed projects. The trackers provide interactive maps and tables on GEM's public website. The maps and tables allow users to see the location and satellite imagery of individual facilities and to click on links providing footnoted wiki pages on each facility. Tracker data is also provided in spreadsheet format to researchers at nonprofit groups, universities, international agencies, and media organizations. Trackers are updated twice per year and findings are publicized in regular reports. GEM also publishes CoalWire, a free weekly news digest on coal.

Oil and Gas: Global Energy Monitor's oil and gas program includes a global oil and gas extraction database, a global fossil fuels infrastructure database, a global gas plant database, a gas infrastructure database, a project on US natural gas leakage, and weekly newsletter. GEM's Global Oil and Gas Extraction Tracker (GOGET) shows the location and details about more than 29,000 oil and gas reserves around the world. GEM's Global Fossil Infrastructure Tracker (GFIT) maps more than 1.4 million kilometers of oil and gas pipelines. GEM's Global Gas Plant Tracker (GGPT) includes data on more than 9,000 gas units in 129 countries. GEM's Global Gas Infrastructure Tracker (GGIT) features data on more than 1,000 liquid natural gas terminals, accounting for more than 4 billion tonnes of annual LNG capacity. The trackers provide interactive maps and tables on GEM's public website. The maps and tables allow users to see the location and satellite imagery of individual facilities and to click on links providing footnoted wiki pages on each facility. Tracker data is also provided in spreadsheet format to researchers at nonprofit groups, universities, international agencies, and media organizations. Trackers are updated twice per year and findings are publicized in regular reports. GEM's Gas Index is a project that evaluates the problem of fossil gas leakage in the United States. GEM also publishes Inside Gas, a free weekly news digest on natural gas.
