 Upcoming Release
 ================
 
+* Set non-zero capital_cost for methanol stores to avoid unrealistic storage sizes
+
 * Set p_nom = p_nom_min for generators with baseyear == grouping_year in add_existing_baseyear. This has no effect on the optimization but helps n.statistics to correctly report already installed capacities.
 
 * Reverted outdated hotfix for doubled renewable capacity in myopic optimization.
