Global Development Potential Indices, v1 (2016): Conventional Gas
The Global Development Potential Indices are part of the Land Use Land Cover collection. The data set contains 13 sector-level Development Potential Indices (DPIs) for sectors related to renewable energy (concentrated solar power, photovoltaic solar, wind, hydropower), fossil fuels (coal, conventional and unconventional oil and gas), mining (metallic, non-metallic), and agriculture (crop, biofuels expansion). Each DPI is a 1-km spatially-explicit, global land suitability map that has been validated using locations of planned development as well as examined for uncertainty and sensitivity. This map displays the DPI for concentrated solar power, grouped into six 6 classes ranging from very low to very high.
