About The Map
What Does the Baker Institute China Energy Map Show?
The China Energy Map is a comprehensive, interactive visualization of key energy infrastructure across China. Since its initial launch as the Baker Institute China Oil Map in February 2019, the map has expanded significantly in both scope and detail. The 2026 update further expands the map with new layers for high-voltage power transmission lines, GDP per capita, and population density.
Layers and Data Sources
As of May 2026, the map includes the layers below. Note that all infrastructure layers include announced, permitted, under construction, and operational facilities, excluding canceled, mothballed, and retired units.
Category | Layer name | Geometry | Description | Last Update | Source | |
Oil | Crude Pipelines | Line | Crude oil pipelines. If international, only the sections that are within the Chinese border are included, e.g., the Russia-China and Myanmar-China crude pipelines. The location accuracy of this layer falls into the medium range. We traced the pipeline routes by assigning and connecting each pump station at the centroid of cities or towns. | Apirl 2026 | Authors | |
Product Pipelines | Line | Refined product pipelines. The same mapping method was applied to this layer as the crude pipelines, thus the location accuracy of this layer should be deemed only descriptive and best displayed at the national and provincial levels. | Apirl 2026 | Authors | ||
Oil Storage | Point | Both crude oil and refined product storage facilities. Ninety-five percent of the facility coordinates in this layer are highly accurate. | Apirl 2026 | Authors | ||
Oil Refineries | Point | Petroleum refineries. The coordinates of each refinery are highly accurate. | Apirl 2026 | Authors | ||
Oil Ports | Point | Oil wharves and docking facilities. The coordinates are highly accurate. | Apirl 2026 | Authors | ||
Oil and Gas Fields | Point | Operating oil, gas, oil/gas production fields | May 2026 | |||
Gas | Natural Gas Pipelines | Line | Natural gas pipelines, both trunk and branch lines. The same mapping method was applied to this layer as the crude pipelines, thus the location accuracy of this layer should be deemed only descriptive and best displayed at the national and provincial levels. | Apirl 2026 | Authors | |
Natural Gas storage | Point | Existing natural gas storage facilities. Due to pripretary information, only facility status can be displayed. | Apirl 2026 | |||
LNG Terminals | Point | Liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals. The coordinates are highly accurate. All the terminals are import terminals. The facility-level details include berths and storage breakdowns if available. | Apirl 2026 | Authors | ||
Power | Power Plants by Fuel | Point | Existing power plants with operator, fuel type and capacity details. Bubble color is assigned by fuel type, and the size of the bubble indicates the power plant nameplate capacity: | Aug 2025 | ||
High Voltage Power Transmission | Line | 2025 Power transmission network | March 2026 | |||
Emerging | EVB Factories | Point | Factory sites that manufacture batteries for electric vehicles. Ninety-four percent of the facility coordinates are highly accurate. Additional information on this layer includes ownership structure (domestic, foreign, or joint venture) and planned capacity additions in GWh (if any). | April 2026 | Authors | |
Hydrogen Facilities | Point | Hydrogen production projects. The coordinates are highly accurate. Facility level details currently include the type of hydrogen (grey, blue, green, etc.) | April 2026 | |||
Hydrogen Pipelines | Line | Hydrogen pipelines. | April 2026 | |||
CCS Projects | Point | Carbon capture and storage projects. | April 2026 | |||
Mining | Mining Properties | Point | Mining sites. Details include primary commodity, list of commodities, mill capacity, reserves and resources, if available. | April 2026 | ||
Demographics | GDP per capita | Polygon | Per capita gross domestic product (GDP) in China in 2024, by province or region(in yuan) | Augst 2025 | ||
Population Density | Polygon | Average population density in China in 2024, by province or region(in inhabitants per square kilometer) | October 2025 | |||
Urban Areas | Polygon | 2024 urban centers defined by GHSL-UCDB | November 2026 |
Future Directions
The data compiled and presented in the map to date account for a significant share of China’s known energy infrastructure capacity. We will continue to update the map regularly as new information becomes available, including updates to existing assets, newly constructed facilities, and infrastructure not previously identified.

Appendix 1: Data and Methodology
Data
For data developed by the authors, the sources included, but were not limited to:
- The 2012 China Petroleum Map by ARA International Limited (for names of pipelines and storage facilities);
- Bloomberg Professional Service(for names of refineries);
- The Oil and Gas Journal World Wide Refinery Survey 2018;
- 13th Five-Year Plan for Energy Development Appendix I and II (oil and gas) by China’s National Development and Reform Commission;
- 13th Five-Year Plan for Transportation system by China’s State Council;
- Infopetro.com;
- Global Energy Monitor;
- World Nuclear Association;

- bjx.com.cn(北极星儲能网);
- GlobalData;
- Capital IQ;
- Petroleum Economist; and
- Online press releases by operating companies.
Data displayed on the China Energy Map has been confirmed with multiple sources before mapping. Specifically, with the difficulties of tracking individual EV battery manufacturers, we verified each EVB facility with recent job postings in addition to company websites/lookup pages. The facility is omitted from the database if: 1) no factory sites are seen on the satellite image, 2) the address found indicates a suit/office building, or 3) the address refers to a previously established company.
Technical Framework
For data developed by authors, we created the initial list of facility names based on the sources listed above and built the database of China’s energy infrastructure using a deep internet search to collect as much facility-level information as possible. Relevant data included name, location (latitude/longitude coordinates), owner/operator, designed capacity, operating status, and the year the facility entered service.
We targeted infrastructure groups in oil, natural gas, electricity, and emerging energy technologies. The majority of data was extracted from individual press releases and news articles written in Mandarin Chinese. The specified facility capacity for oil infrastructure was generally converted from 10,000 metric tons (per year), which is conventional for the Chinese oil sector, to a thousand barrels (per day) using the CME Group conversion calculator, which uses a ratio of 7.33 barrels per metric ton of crude oil.
Next, we mapped individual infrastructure groups in vector layers (i.e., lines and points) with attribute information using ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, and Experience Builder.
