The paper examined more than 140 technologies including hydrogen, renewables, biofuels and carbon capture and storage, which involves burying emissions underground.
"Flexible gas capacity will continue to play a crucial role in supporting variable renewable energy, alongside continuing growth in energy storage, demand management and innovative grid technologies as alternatives," it said. The document said Australia was well placed to develop a major hydrogen export sector and reinforced a previously announced goal of producing it at below $2 per kilogram, the point at which it said it would become competitive.
The minister said a long-term emissions reduction strategy would then be released ahead of the COP26 climate talks, which were postponed due to COVID-19.The Government has faced pressure to adopt a target of achieving zero net emissions by 2050 but Mr Taylor said it did not "commit to targets without a very clear plan."

We don’t need toy power plants. We need the real thing. Build HELE coal plants and some nuclear.
Morons rusted onto fossil fuels. Loud grid can’t handle too many renewables! We need the power to shut them down!” Fix the grid stupid!
