原标题：澳大利亚将向新兴可再生能源项目投资14亿美元

    中国石化新闻网讯 据能源世界网9月17日悉尼报道，澳大利亚总理莫里森周三表示，未来10年，该国将向新兴的可再生能源技术投资19亿澳元(合13.9亿美元)。澳洲政府正加快投资步伐，以提振该国疲弱的经济。

    澳大利亚陷入了近30年来的首次衰退，实际失业率预计将超过13%。

    莫里森表示，在10月初提交年度预算之前，该公司将为其技术投资机构拨款19亿澳元，用于清洁氢等技术。

    莫里森在一份电子邮件声明中表示:“政府如今将把精力集中在下一个挑战上:在整个经济中释放新技术，以帮助降低成本、创造就业机会、提高可靠性和减少排放。”

    这将支持我们的传统产业，如制造业、农业、交通，同时定位我们的未来经济。

    由于对燃煤发电的依赖，澳大利亚是世界上人均碳排放最多的国家之一。

    尽管莫里森是煤炭的坚定支持者，但他本周表示，天然气将是支持制造业复苏的核心。

    Australia to spend $1.4 billion on nascent renewable energy projects

    Australia will invest A$1.9 billion ($1.39 billion) over the next 10 years in nascent renewable energy technology, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Wednesday, as Canberra accelerates spending in a bid to revive its ailing economy.

    Australia slipped into its first recession in nearly three decades, while effective unemployment is expected to top 13 per cent.

    Ahead of its annual budget to be delivered in early October, Morrison said it will include an allocation of A$1.9 billion for its technology investment agencies to spend on technologies such as clean hydrogen.

    "The government will now focus its efforts on the next challenge: unlocking new technologies across the economy to help drive down costs, create jobs, improve reliability and reduce emissions," Morrison said in an emailed statement.

    "This will support our traditional industries - manufacturing, agriculture, transport - while positioning our economy for the future."

    Australia is one of the world's largest carbon emitters per capita due to its reliance on coal-fired power.

    While Morrison is a strong supporter of coal, he said this week that gas would be central to supporting a recovery in manufacturing.
