Yorkshire gas storage site may close with 450 jobs at risk
A possible closure of the gas storage site would reduce natural gas storage capacity and tighten regional supply flexibility.

How it reaches your house.
Starting from Underground natural gas storage (depleted fields & salt caverns), we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Underground natural gas storage (depleted fields & salt caverns) →Shortage riskResidential gas supply depends on underground storage for peak balancing, and this input is marked critical with high dependency strength.
90% confidenceUnderground Salt Cavern Storage Infrastructure →Shortage riskA Yorkshire gas storage closure directly tightens UK storage capacity and flexibility, so the UK is the immediate geography exposed to the shock.
84% confidenceUnderground natural gas storage (depleted fields & salt caverns) →Shortage riskUnited Kingdom
The source directly links a possible storage-site closure to Britain's energy crisis, implying tighter national gas supply.
“Britain faces a deepening energy crisis as a result of dwindling reserves and the possible closure of its largest storage site.”
Hop 2
Natural gas (home) →Stands to benefitLNG peak-shaving and import facilities
With underground storage capacity reduced, the system leans more on LNG peak-shaving/import facilities as a substitute balancing source, so they gain utilization.
79% confidenceUnited Kingdom →Shortage riskpMDI Aluminum Canister (Coated)
The UK accounts for 85% of supply of this coated canister input, so a UK gas-storage-related production disruption could materially tighten availability.
62% confidenceUnited Kingdom →Shortage riskHop 3
STADIS 450 antistatic additive (Innospec) →Shortage riskJet fuel is marked as a critical good that depends on STADIS 450 additive with high dependency strength (0.88), so a disruption in the additive is likely to tighten jet fuel supply.
88% confidencepMDI Aluminum Canister (Coated) →Shortage riskInhalers critically depend on this input (dependency strength 0.9), so any coated-canister shortfall propagates strongly into inhaler supply.

H&T Presspart →Shortage riskpMDI Aluminum Canister (Coated)
H&T Presspart accounts for 85% of this market, the canister is hard to substitute, and replacement would take years, so a gas-related production disruption at the company would likely tighten canister supply.
80% confidenceEMSAR S.r.l. →Shortage riskpMDI Aluminum Canister (Coated)
EMSAR accounts for about 8% of this canister supply and replacement is slow (36 months), so a disruption at the company would modestly but credibly tighten availability of coated pMDI aluminum canisters.
