* Add option to regionally resolve CO2 storage and add CO2 pipeline transport because geological storage potential,
CO2 utilisation sites and CO2 capture sites may be separated.
The CO2 network is built from zero based on the topology of the electricity grid (greenfield).
Pipelines are assumed to be bidirectional and lossless.
Furthermore, neither retrofitting of natural gas pipelines (required pressures are too high, 80-160 bar vs <80 bar)
nor other modes of CO2 transport (by ship, road or rail) are considered.
The regional representation of CO2 is activated with the config setting ``sector: co2_network: true`` but is deactivated by default.
The global limit for CO2 sequestration now applies to the sum of all CO2 stores via an ``extra_functionality`` constraint.
