In the case of gas, UK Trade and Investment is active in helping the UK oil and gas sector do more business internationally. In addition the remit of the new Oil & Gas Authority, established in 2015, is to work with government and industry to make sure that maximum economic benefit is derived from the UK\u2019s oil and gas reserves.<\/p>
<\/p>
UK companies are freely able to export and import coal as part of normal market operators.<\/p>
<\/p>
UK demand for both coal and gas outweighs domestic supply, therefore the UK imports the vast majority of its coal needs and around half of its gas supply.<\/p>
