Part 1 of the Energy Act 2008 (c. 32) (“the Act”) introduces two new licensing regimes, respectively for the storage and unloading of combustible gas (Chapter 2) and the permanent storage of carbon dioxide (Chapter 3). The regimes apply to activities within the offshore area comprising both the UK territorial sea, and the area extending beyond the territorial sea that has been designated as a Gas Importation and Storage Zone (“GISZ”) under section 1(5) of that Act: see the Gas Storage and Importation Zone (Designation of Area) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/223).
