Scott Morrison has promised to spend an extra $540 million on clean energy projects ahead of a climate summit hosted by US President Joe Biden.

The prime minister expects the projects to create more than 2500 jobs and drive down emissions across the country.

But the prime minister insists the twin technologies will be crucial if Australia plans to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Australia's peak oil and gas industry body said the investment in new hydrogen and carbon capture and storage projects would be a massive boost for the sector.

SBS Pretty pretentious... if there weren't a summit, nothing would have changed....

Hosted by the BOSS. Wake up VASSAL...wake up

Not enough, plus he is probably lying.

Its an ethical responsibility of ausgov to look after the people who have invested Thousands of dollars in Australia. we are stuck offshore because of the travel ban. If you dont wanna allow us then atleast extend our visas or freeze them extend485visas

But I thought we were meeting our target 'at a canter' Why do they need to spend more? auspol

Gas and coal, by any chance? Corrupt arse.

Four years of climate change inaction, childishly produces a lump of coal in parliament and ridicules the opposition's stance on climate change. Big positive climate change announcement, wow anyone would think it's an election year ! ScottyTheAnnouncer scottytheliar

He also promised to bring all Australians home by Xmas. 4mil vaccinations by end of March. We were at the front of the queue. Etcetera Etcetera. Passion fingers aka ScottMorrisonMP makes a lot of false promises (lies) he delivers on None of them

A brief history of Smoko's climate response: Oppose carbon tax Do nothing - China's bigger than us Meet and beat! Push for more gas Meh, forget 2050 targets Deregulation, small government Spend half a billion 🤷‍♂️

Promises promises will he deliver that’s the question.

SBS I can't wait for the thejuicemedia take on this.

Question one: Does the PM actually know what a clean energy project constitutes? No further questions.

Gas ain’t clean ScottyFromMarketing

So about half of what this government pays in subsides to mining companies.

SBS 10% for me mate and another 10% for the LNP.

Just stop the lies. So sick of it.

CLEAN HYDROGEN FUELED BY THE CLEANEST MOST PRISTINE GAS FIRES. He has no credibility anymore and I'm afraid we'll need to wait for a change of government to see real progress

“Morrison gets ass handed to him by real world leaders and back peddles to rectify his own party’s policies that killed renewable energy investment in Australia years ago” Corrected it for you

Morrison’s CCS proposal is fanciful. Here’s a proven and very efficient carbon capture and storage plant. ♻️

Morrison’s promises aren’t worth the paper they’re written on! All smirkandmirrors

Its a marketing spin like his Covid vaccine! He is a perpetual LIAR!

More climate bullshit from the biggest bullshitter Morrison is a climate denier

No he has promised gas and subsidies for fossil fuels.

Carbon capture and storage. Absolute 🐂💩 fairly technology. There are ZERO successful CCS projects worldwide. Of course this government would put money behind iit as means to funnel more taxpayer money to donors and friends. How pathetic and insulting to Australians.

More dead promises

From the L/NP Coalition government mongrels who gave Australians a 2nd rate NBN? They will say anything but the taste of the pudding is in the eating

SBS He could fund this 'promise' (which he has no intention of keeping) by stopping the tax rorts of donors and clawing back the overpaid Jobkeeper from the grubs who used it to pay their investors' dividends!

The countries are all awake to the clean coal, hydrogen, carbon capture mantra 🤬🤬🤬🤬

It will be notional, like everything else, the money won’t be spent at all. He is just trying to look good for Biden.

Promises from ScottMorrisonMP to spend on clean energy mean absolutely zilch ClimateEnvoy This mean nothing compared to the money spent & approvals for coal & gas developments given. We want a RenewableLedRecovery, not a GasLedRecoveryRort NoMoreEmptyPromises COP26

Is he going to buy giant vacuum cleaners to clean the dirty black dust off the coal? He just loves wasting our money on such stupid crap....just so he can tick yet another box on his long to-do list before calling the election...

ScottyFromMarketing

Gotta look good now he’s got a meeting with Biden ... more Morrison smoke and mirrors...

He promises lots of things but never delivers.

SBS By 'clean' he means gas probably

Doing your homework just before the big test.

as if Biden is an idiot. or nutter like Trump. I can see Biden just shaking his head and saying dont insult me like you insult your own country. man!

He has pulled that number straight out of his arse because that is where all of his policies reside.

Another empty promise

ScottMorrisonMP makes a lots of promises he has no intention of keeping or can ever make possible. ScottyTheAnnouncer The covidvacccine is another one.

carbon capture technology subsidies for coal industry mates? someone please tell me where I missed the genuinely clean energy projects assistance provided by the Scomo Government. auspol LNPfail ScottyFromMarketing climatechangeisreal

Clean coal Clean gas Clean fracking Clean old growth bio fuel There's money for everyone!

I’ll believe it when I see it - another empty promise
