.. The features listed below are not released yet, but will be part of the next release!
.. To use the features already you have to use the ``master`` branch.

* Add `Post-combustion carbon capture retrofit - 500 MW(th) biomass-fired boiler` as `biomass boiler capture` (https://github.com/PyPSA/technology-data/pull/253)

* Adding `grey methanol synthesis`.

* Align cost units for NREL battery data with PyPSA modeling, fetching investment cost and FOM for both `battery storage` and `battery inverter` instead of a single value for `battery storage`, which was instead representative of the full plant (battery storage + battery inverter).
