Top 10 Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines (by Mileage)


I was just working on some natural gas maps to round out the Platts suite of Natural Gas maps, and I threw this map together just out of curiosity. If this is something that you find helpful, please let me know. Feel free to drop it into presentations. In case it's not painfully obvious from this post's title and the map title...this is strictly based on line mileage, not capacity or anything else.

Platts/UDI China mapping data graces pages of National Geographic


UDI is a department within Platts which collects and databases generation and contact data for power plant units globally. You can see their products here.

The mapping group at Platts Analytics took UDI's power plant data for China and mapped it and now has the honor of sharing that data with National Geographic magazine. You can see some of our GIS data (coal fired power plants) in the May issue which is dedicated to China's growth.
