The North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) is a UK regulatory body primarily focused on the oil and gas industries, offshore hydrogen and carbon storage. It plays a key role in the UK's energy transition by licensing, regulating, and influencing these industries to support the move towards greener energy sources and net zero emissions by 2050. The NSTA issues licenses and permits for carbon storage under the seabed and works with government, industry, and other regulators to ensure the coexistence of industries such as CCS, oil and gas, and offshore wind. The NSTA also collects and provides data related to the North Sea to enable understanding of the geology and support carbon storage initiatives.
