Do you happen to know if all the natural gas used to generate electricity in the UK comes from the UK's territory (e.g., the part of the North Sea where they enjoy mineral rights)?
- isostatic 7y agoWe use gas a lot in central heating (and cooking) However looking at https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2018/03/16/uk-natural-gas-imports/ https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2018/03/16/uk-... Looks like equal parts domestic gas, electricity, and industry About half imported, half mined in the UK. From that page: "The vast bulk of imports comes direct from Norway. Technically, Russian gas can only arrive via the Belgian and Dutch pipelines, which amount to 10% of total imports. It is estimated that 35% of Europe’s gas comes from Russia, so in theory about 3% of Britain’s gas comes from Russia."
