The UK's Global Gas Challenge

Bridge, G; Watson, Jim; Bradshaw, M; Bouzarovski, S.; Dutton, J; 2014

Natural gas production in the UK peaked in 2000, and in 2004 it became a net importer. A decade later and the UK now imports about half of the natural gas that it consumes. The central thesis of the project on which this report is based is that as the UK’s gas import dependence has grown, it has effectively been ‘globalising’ its gas security; consequently UK consumers are increasingly exposed to events in global gas markets.
