The Liberals pledged $140m for two hydrogen hubsMr Morrison was campaigning in Perth today, announcing a $140 million injection for two hydrogen hubs in WA, which he says will create 3,600 new jobs in the state.
Deputy Labor leader Richard Marles said the commitment would establish the Midland campus as a leader in training for high-tech renewable energy jobs. But with the advent of clean hydrogen production in WA, iron ore companies could use renewable hydrogen to make iron domestically for export.Watch"It's very simple and relatively low cost to take coal out of the ground, put it on a ship and send it to Korea or Japan or China, it's much harder to do the same thing with hydrogen," he said.
Mr Wood said while Australian renewables could be used to power personal vehicles and small commercial vehicles, hydrogen may be a more efficient way to power long distance heavy transport.
What a load off 💩
Don’t be fooled, Morrison’s a rank climate denier using green hydrogen as a mask to continue mining. Hydrogen hubs are not fully proven as climate friendly. And it was never his idea, it came from Andrew Forrest- a mining billionaire mogul in WA. AlboForPM ausvotes
9 years and $450000000 on failed sequestration of carbon projects later and they are changing horses mid stream in the Hope we’lol believe their climate change credentials., too late mate😂
Too little too late ScottyFromMarketing. This should have already been happening 3-5 years ago. But you were busy holding a piece of Coal up in parliament to support fossil fuels. ScomoMustGo
Only 3600 jobs.... what happened with the other million odd jobs he promised Australia
Private industry way ahead of you scomo.
Can you at least do us the courtesy of stating “PM promises” at the start of the headline so we can decide whether we believe him
vote buying season ...
Will this be delivered before or after an ICAC? Will it use the same financing strategies as the L/NP NBN, or are we looking at a submarine style scenario?
A $140 million 'pledge' for WA from the PM. He 'pledged' to build a supply vessel in WA, how'd that go? It really doesn't matter what the PM 'pledges' the question is can he be trusted to keep to his word? idontthinkiknow
ALP have already begun this in QLD
Definitely full with gas is this one ☝️
