 ..   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.
 
+* 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).
 
 * Add excess heat output rates for Fischer-Tropsch and Haber-Bosch processes.
