I'm confused why you sometimes use "Injection Rate|Natural Gas|Storage|Aquifer" but "Injection Rate|Gas|Storage|Salt Cavern" - shouldn't this be consistently used with "Natural Gas"?

Assuming that methane and hydrogen cannot use the same networks, I suggest to simplify to

  • Network|Natural Gas|Capacity
  • Network|Hydrogen|Capacity

This is obviously a subcategory of pipeline length.

These are boolean values that cannot be represented by the IIASA database infrastructure and the IAMC format. I suggest to remove these variables for now and have a discussion later how this information could be handled.
