if the project is a natural gas energy generating station, ensure that the project can be converted to use only hydrogen or a zero–emissions biofuel as the energy source when the Commission determines that the conversion is feasible;
(2)
include a detailed description of the timeline for construction of the project, including:
(i)
identifying the entity that has ownership or site control of the project site;
(ii)
queue position for PJM approval;
(iii)
the ability to procure materials, including turbines and other pipeline materials; and
(iv)
any information that demonstrates the applicant’s:
(1)
readiness to apply for a certificate of public convenience and necessity under § 7–207 or § 7–207.4 of this title as soon as is reasonably feasible after receiving approval for the project, including the anticipated application date; and

(iv)
the amount of hydrogen or zero–emissions biofuels that the project will mix with natural gas for energy generation; and
(5)
state the emissions intensity of the generation output over the life of the project.
