Levfin->Project Finance ? What do I need to do? Main differences?

Long term reader, first time poster here!

I've been a levfin analyst for the last c.12 months, I've recently become drawn to the world of Project Finance. I think the deals are fascinating, and push to net zero / renewables is only going to increase volume and value of deals going on - I want to be a part of it! I enjoy my current role but PF feels like there's more of an underlying purpose and plus being a STEM graduate I'm keen to blend science with finance! Based on this, please could someone provide some insight on the below:

1) Is the move from levfin to PF possible;

2) What are the transferable skills and what would I need to do to close the gap;

3) Main differences between levfin & PF, any type of advice would be helpful i.e. tenor of debt, fin modelling differences;

4) Best resources for PF research;

5) Any other advice/ tips.

Thanks so much for your help!
