Powerbase's Fracking Portal aims to guide you around some of the companies, lobbyists and think tanks involved in lobbying for the fracking industry in the UK and the EU.
The UK Government is backing fracking, despite protests up and down the country.
When Theresa May took over as prime minister in July 2016 she vowed her government would represent the concerns of ordinary people over big vested interests.
Yet soon afterwards, her communities secretary Sajid Javid had overturned Lancashire county council’s refusal of plans for fracking firm Cuadrilla's test wells in the Fylde near Blackpool.
Our fracking portal explores who is pulling the strings behind the scenes.
