.. 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); also add Variable O&M for all carbon capture retrofits

* Adding `grey methanol synthesis`.
`v0.14.0 <https://github.com/PyPSA/technology-data/releases/tag/v0.14.0>`__ (13th February 2026)
================================================================================================

* Changed currency year from 2020 to 2025 for all cost assumptions using updated Eurostat inflation rates. (https://github.com/PyPSA/technology-data/pull/263)
