Australia will take a long-term emissions reduction strategy to a global summit on climate change later this year.
To date, federal funds totalling more than $10.4 billion have been invested in more than 670 clean technology projects with a value of $35 billion, mostly focussed on wind and solar."We must move our investments to the next challenges - hydrogen, carbon capture and storage, lithium, and advanced livestock feed supplements, to name a few."
Labor climate and energy spokesman Mark Butler said the plan lacked credibility, especially given the latest data showed only a 0.3 per cent emissions reduction in the year-to-date. Bushfire survivors use burnt debris from the recent bushfires to create a symbolic trail of destruction outside Parliament House in Canberra, Feb. 11, 2020.Flagging his approach to the Glasgow COP26 summit, Mr Taylor on Friday told a Sydney business forum that the strategy will be based on using technology to cut emissions.
The government has a target of a 26 per cent reduction in emissions on 2005 levels by 2030, but Labor says a longer-term target of zero net emissions by 2050 is also needed.Australia is one of the last developed countries actively considering new coal-fired power stations The government would target its support to ensure each technology reached economic parity or better, that is, the shift to lower emissions comes at a low or zero cost.
Not buying it You guys . Australia’s situation on the climate action is looking really bad . All carbon emissions must dropped dramatically to zone within this decade. We have renewable energy on our side with the resources to boost its popularity . Spare us the excuses .
Carbon capture. Where, rather than reducing the amount of excess poison you are producing you instead keep sticking it underground in the hope that out of sight out of mind will make the problem go away! It's the science of idiots!
Taylor has no creditabilty....Ask Naomi. 👎
The power of fossil fuel companies is overwhelming. For over 20 years they have denounced global warming. This prick is on the payroll. We may have to accept a drop in standards but we are able to convert to clean energy if we want to. No worries. Watch:The Choice is Ours.
We don't want more coal stations you idiot ClimateEmergency ClimateCrisis
This guy is a total waste of space
The Government's Approach to Energy Policy Step 1: Invest in currently unknown technologies. Step 3: Reduce emissions. But, you ask, what's Step 2? The Government haven't gotten that far yet.
Another dishonest racist.....
Carbon capture and storage like the label 'clean coal' is a fairy tale only believed by the promoters and others with vested interests.
how do we stop these psychopaths
Are swat
David_Speers simonahac AlboMP ... when is someone going to call out Angus Taylor's lie about his target of 26-28% by 2030 USING KYOTO CREDITS..What is his target WITHOUT these credits given they are probably illegal anyway. auspol
Throwing money at unproven solutions. And Hydrogen from fossil fuels. This government can't and won't do anything meaningful. All they do is pay lip service and look for opportunities to funnel more taxpayer $$ to mates.
FFS
Angus Taylor need to show the nation the document showing the plan or is this just one of them made up document.
