據(jù)能源轉(zhuǎn)型4月22日消息稱，澳大利亞總理已提議在氫和碳封存項(xiàng)目上額外投資5.39億澳元（合4.17億美元。
澳大利亞總理斯科特·莫里森表示，用于建設(shè)新的氫生產(chǎn)中心和碳捕獲技術(shù)的資金將創(chuàng)造2500多個(gè)就業(yè)崗位，同時(shí)減少澳大利亞的溫室氣體排放。
莫里森在一份聲明中說:“我們現(xiàn)在投資于將支持我們行業(yè)未來發(fā)展的技術(shù)，以及能夠支持澳大利亞就業(yè)的低排放能源，這對(duì)澳大利亞的成功至關(guān)重要。”
他補(bǔ)充說：“我們不能假裝世界沒有改變。如果我們這樣做，我們就會(huì)面臨失業(yè)的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，尤其是在一些地區(qū)。”
政府將于5月11日公布下一財(cái)政年度的經(jīng)濟(jì)藍(lán)圖，詳細(xì)說明這筆資金。這項(xiàng)開支需要議會(huì)的批準(zhǔn)。
一半多一點(diǎn)的資金將用于將澳大利亞地區(qū)的氫生產(chǎn)中心從1個(gè)增加到5個(gè)。中心是氫生產(chǎn)商、用戶和出口商集中在一起的地區(qū)。
澳大利亞已經(jīng)是世界上最大的液化天然氣和煤炭出口國(guó)之一，這兩種化石燃料都具有污染性。政府希望澳大利亞在2030年前成為全球主要的氫供應(yīng)國(guó)，目標(biāo)是將生產(chǎn)成本降低到每公斤(2.2磅)不到2澳元(1.54美元)。
澳大利亞擁有世界上最大的碳捕獲和儲(chǔ)存設(shè)施，位于西北海岸巴羅島的雪佛龍Gorgon天然氣項(xiàng)目。自2019年開始運(yùn)營(yíng)以來，該項(xiàng)目已儲(chǔ)存了400多萬(wàn)噸(440萬(wàn)美國(guó)噸)的碳排放。新的資金將用于加速新的碳捕獲中心和技術(shù)的開發(fā)。

Australia plans to spend $417 M on hydrogen, carbon capture
Australia's prime minister has proposed spending an extra 539 million Australian dollars ($417 million) on hydrogen and carbon sequestration projects.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the money to be spent on building new hydrogen-producing hubs and carbon capture technologies would create more than 2,500 jobs while reducing Australia's greenhouse gas emissions.
"It is essential we position Australia to succeed by investing now in the technologies that will support our industries into the future, with lower emissions energy that can support Australian jobs," Morrison said in a statement.
"We cannot pretend the world is not changing. If we do, we run the risk of stranding jobs in this country, especially in regional areas," he added.
The funding will be detailed in the government's economic blueprint for the next fiscal year which will be made public on May 11. The spending requires Parliament's approval.
A little over half the money would be spent on increasing the number of hydrogen-producing hubs in regional Australia from one to five. A hub is a region where hydrogen producers, users and exporters are located together.
Australia is already one of the world's largest exporters of liquified natural gas and coal, both polluting fossil fuels. The government wants Australia to become a major global hydrogen supplier by 2030, aiming to reduce production costs to less than AU$2 ($1.54) a kilogram (2.2 pounds).
Australia is home to the world's largest carbon capture and storage facility at Chevron's Gorgon natural gas project on Barrow Island off its northwest coast. The project has stored more than 4 million metric tons (4.4 million U.S. tons) of carbon emissions since it started operating in 2019. New money would be spent on accelerating development of a new carbon capture hub and technologies.
