Oct 1, 2025Monthly summary for 2025-10: Pik-piam/mrremind delivered two primary updates that improve data accuracy, emissions reporting, and release reliability. Feature delivered: Improve historical CCS data accuracy and comprehensive emissions reporting by enforcing the IEA CCUS model for capacity calculations, updating data sources to include latest emissions, and integrating EDGAR GHG calculations with LULUCF data for a more complete emissions profile. Bug fix: Release metadata and versioning updates—bumped version numbers and release dates across multiple files to reflect new releases (e.g., 0.243.2 and 0.244.0) and improve traceability. Impact: higher fidelity emissions insights, improved compliance readiness, and streamlined release engineering. Skills: data integration, model-based data selection (IEA CCUS), EDGAR GHG updates, LULUCF integration, release management, version control hygiene.
