gas pipeline
Underground fuel channel
A gas pipeline is a system of pipes, often spanning hundreds or thousands of miles, used to transport natural gas from extraction sites to processing plants, distribution centers, or end users.
Major pipelines are critical infrastructure, subject to geopolitical tensions and environmental concerns: The proposed gas pipeline would cross protected wetlands.
Smaller pipelines distribute gas to homes and businesses.
