The North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) has moved to support the growing carbon storage industry by issuing a set of Stewardship Expectations to help licensees meet their obligations in this growing industry.  

 

The need for each Expectation is explained, alongside a detailed roadmap of how a licensee may meet regulatory requirements and best practice suggestions.

Stewardship expectations cover the following areas:

Stewardship Expectation 1 - Containment Risk Assessment


Stewardship Expectation 2 - Appraisal and subsurface characterisation


Stewardship Expectation 3 – Data acquisition and use for appraisal and monitoring


Stewardship Expectation 4 – Technology development and deployment


Stewardship Expectation 5 – Stakeholder engagement
