U.S. oil and gas production has increased more than fifty percent in the last decade thanks to the hydro-fracturing of shale deposits that’s pushing output to record levels. Unsurprisingly, this is driving investment in the industrial infrastructure needed to turn all that oil and gas into fuel, chemicals, and other high-value products. The Environmental Integrity Project created this public database to track the environmental and human health impacts of more than 400 of the largest projects to build or expand capacity at gas processors, liquefied natural gas terminals, refineries, petrochemical plants, and fertilizer manufacturers. The database also includes over 60 interstate natural gas pipeline projects that are under construction or recently completed, or that have been announced or approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Communities working together to stop the buildout of oil, gas, and petrochemical infrastructure, towards a just and clean energy economy.
