• Fixed accounting of global shipping fuel consumption (this is largely fixing a bias introduced in a previous pre-release. However, in current version, some shipping emissions before the IEA data period are shifted from international shipping to domestic navigation. This does not substantially impact total emissions, but will impact the spatial distribution as compared to the CMIP6 data release.)
• Corrections to addition of EIA historical coal consumption data for the USA
• Corrections to addition of historical coal consumption data for Germany
• Negative energy consumption data from historical UN statistics removed
• Metadata tracking within the system now correctly removes duplicate entries
• Users providing CEDS with total fuel consumption for a country can now choose if international shipping bunkers are included or not
• Users providing CEDS with fuel consumption for a country can now choose if data should be normalized to CEDS default values or not after inclusion
• Updated waste emissions calculation with fix to code and more realistic developed country urban burnt percentage parameter
• Improved consistency of Korea BC and OC emissions with Korea national inventory addressing, in part, issue 5
