It’s going to require the public and private sector working together to deploy these projects."
Hydrogen Energy for Guam Using Seawater Electrolysis
"The abundant seawater surrounding Guam provides an enticing energy source: hydrogen. Through a process called electrolysis, energy from electricity splits water into hydrogen and oxygen. This generates a fuel that can also be stored and used when renewable electricity is not available."
Green energy investment headwinds threaten Joe Biden’s climate targets
"The typical project built in 2022 took five years from the interconnection request to commercial operations, compared with three years in 2015. The backlog is worsening as more projects are attracted due to the incentives in the IRA, according to the report."
