Geospatial Energy Mapper (GEM)
The Geospatial Energy Mapper (GEM) is a data-rich web portal managed by Argonne National Laboratory that integrates spatial datasets on energy infrastructure, land use, environmental sensitivity, and demographic characteristics. Users can visualize existing and proposed energy projects including transmission lines, power plants, renewable energy facilities, and pipelines and assess potential conflicts with protected lands, wildlife habitats, and social considerations. GEM includes tools for scenario analysis and is used by federal agencies, developers, and researchers to evaluate energy corridors, plan transmission expansions, and perform environmental impact assessments.
