View larger image


Stay on top of the momentum toward a natural gas dominated fuel mix in Europe with a comprehensive geographic understanding of the downstream gas infrastructure, from entry point to CCGT. Quick reference to the physical and planned layout of Europe’s gas infrastructure is of paramount importance in an age of security-of-supply concerns and source diversification. Platts’ European Natural Gas System wall map is the most detailed natural gas pipeline map available, featuring an in-depth look at the supply and transportation aspects of the evolving natural gas marketplace.


This edition displays nearly 400,000 kilometers of gas transmission including more than 30 planned or under construction projects across Europe in unprecedented detail. Over 221,000 miles of existing pipelines and over 20,000 miles of planned pipelines are displayed. Also shown are over 1,100 natural gas fired generating stations, including nearly 300 planned/under construction generation projects. This professional quality map is perfect for the boardroom, hallways or executive suite.
