We use gas a lot in central heating (and cooking)

However looking at 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."

The UK has some LNG import terminals so could import from elsewhere if required.
