The UK relied on imports to meet a staggering three-quarters of its airline jet fuel demand last year, and almost half its road diesel demand, according to the latest data from the government's Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). The figures, prepared especially by DECC for International Oil Daily's sister publication Jet Fuel Intelligence, show how recent UK refinery closures have tilted the UK's distillate balance deep into deficit, raising some serious questions about the country's energy security.
