For many years, the UK has used natural gas from underneath the North Sea, where it’s found deep under the earth in layers of rock that have many tiny holes - a bit like a sponge.
But as it’s got harder - and more expensive to get these supplies, the UK now imports quite a lot of the gas we use from elsewhere.
