The article delves into the potential of low-carbon hydrogen to enhance the UK's energy security and advance its journey towards achieving net-zero emissions. By significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in challenging industrial sectors, hydrogen emerges as a versatile energy source for power generation, heating, and transportation. Two main methods of producing low-carbon hydrogen are discussed: blue/CCS-enabled hydrogen, where natural gas is transformed into hydrogen and CO2 with carbon capture, and green/electrolytic hydrogen, produced by splitting water using renewable electricity. The role of the National System for Transport and Administration (NSTA) is highlighted, focusing on its responsibilities in licensing offshore hydrogen pipeline transport and storage activities. Government and industry collaboration is paramount for the successful integration of low-carbon hydrogen technologies. Efforts include repurposing existing infrastructure for hydrogen projects and facilitating engagement with offshore hydrogen developers. By guiding stakeholders through the necessary processes, such as spatial coordination and environmental stewardship, the NSTA plays a key role in supporting the transition to a hydrogen-based economy in the UK.
