Instead these are handled + more transparently with a fixed transport oil demand and a link taking care of + the emissions to the ``co2 atmosphere`` bus. This is also a preparation for + endogenous transport optimisation, where demand will be subject to + optimisation (e.g. fuel switching in the transport sector). + +* Allow possibility to go from copperplated to regionally resolved methanol and + oil demand with switches ``sector: regional_methanol_demand: true`` and + ``sector: regional_oil_demand: true``. This allows nodal/regional CO2 + constraints to be applied. + +* Process emissions from steam crackers (i.e. naphtha processing for HVC) are now + piped from the consumption link to the process emissions bus where the model + can decide about carbon capture. Previously the process emissions for naphtha + were a fixed load. + * Add option to specify losses for bidirectional links, e.g. pipelines or HVDC links, in configuration file under ``sector: transmission_efficiency:``.
