 ..   The features listed below are not released yet, but will be part of the next release! 
 ..   To use the features already you have to use the ``master`` branch.
 
+* Updated Biochar pyrolysis: units updated with rebase on CO2 sequestered, biomass properties aligned with other biomass technolgies, 0.7 coefficient applied to calculate final CO2 sequestration beyond 100 years. (https://github.com/PyPSA/technology-data/pull/258)
+
+* Adding `Enhanced Weathering` (or Rocks) as CDR technology. (https://github.com/PyPSA/technology-data/pull/256)
+
+`v0.15.0 <https://github.com/PyPSA/technology-data/releases/tag/v0.15.0>`__ (9th June 2026)
+================================================================================================
+
+**Breaking changes**
+
+* Renamed ``electricity grid connection`` to ``distribution grid reinforcement`` and updated description for more clarity on the technology and consistency with the source.
+
+**Changes**
+
+* Added "Post-combustion carbon capture retrofit - 500 MW(th) biomass-fired boiler" as ``biomass boiler capture`` (https://github.com/PyPSA/technology-data/pull/253).
+
+* Added VOM for carbon capture retrofits: ``biomass CHP capture`` and ``cement capture`` (https://github.com/PyPSA/technology-data/pull/253).
+
+* Added technology data for ``CO2 dense phase compression`` step for transport in large pipelines which is different from the current ``CO2 liquefaction`` technology parameters that is taken for ship transport  (https://github.com/PyPSA/technology-data/pull/273).
+
+* Added missing discount rate for OCGT in US-specific data. (https://github.com/PyPSA/technology-data/pull/269)
+
+* The ``currency_year`` column will now reflect the inflation adjusted currency year instead of the original currency year of the input data. (https://github.com/PyPSA/technology-data/pull/275)
