GHGenius 5.01 is a major update release. The basic structure and style is familiar to users of 5.0x, but additions include new pathways, new regions, updated data, and new outputs and macros for interacting with the pathways. Please check the changelog for full details.

This is a bug fix release. No data sources have been changed.
Some hydrogen pathways were altered in the course of fixing their interactions on the sequestration sheet.
Changelog:
- Fixed an issue where the liquid and gaseous nitrogen had their energy inputs swapped on Alt Fuel Prod.
- Fixed an issue with unit conversions for LFG on energy use. By default this value was and still is zero.
- Fixed a button on Sequestration that had an error message instead of taking the user back to the input sheet.
- Fixed the fuel production emissions for hydrogen from methanol, gasoline, ethanol, FT diesel, and LPG. This heavily increases their emissions on Upstream Results and beyond, while allowing sequestration of those pathways to be correctly calculated.
- Fixed hydrogen from gasoline and LPG both being labelled as hydrogen from wood residue.

This is a bug fix release. No data sources have been changed.
Corn ethanol may have been having too-high fuel production numbers in cases where the fuel year and model year were both later than 2010. The coproduct emissions and energy were not being calculated correctly for bone meal. This change will only effect tallow based biodiesel when it was using energy based allocation. While these may produce different results, neither change the default results.
Changelog:
- Fixed an issue where the bone meal coproduct for biodiesel was using the wrong energy value.
- Fixed an issue where sugar beat and sorghum based ethanols were using the wrong sequestration fraction.
- Fixed an issue where corn, wheat, barley, pea, and sugarcane based ethanol would sometimes incorrectly increase the natural gas input.
- Fixed some labelling.

This is a bug fix release. No data sources have been changed.
Results have changed for soil carbon for the Canada West, Canada Central, and Canada regional default buttons. The changes were made to base them on the provincial defaults that are still in place. This can effect most feedstocks a small amount in the altered regions, but not on provincial or non-Canadian defaults.
Changelog:
- Fixed an issue where the electricity coproduct for Refined Bio-Oil was not being carried through to result sheets.
- Fixed Canadian regional soil carbon defaults to be based on provincial soil carbon defaults.
- Fixed an issue with Upstream Results LHV where the fuel dispensing for biodiesel from yellow grease, palm sludge, and spent bleaching earth were not calculated correctly. This does not effect those pathways on any other sheet.

This is a bug fix release. No data sources have been changed. Results are unchanged except for HDV CNG city cycle emissions.
Changelog:
- Fixed an issue where the values for HDV CNG city cycle relative energy was a static value. The static value was, a few years ago, the result of a correct formula so the pathway will change very little
- Fixed an issue where the LDV HRD exhaust emission net CO2 was referencing the wrong cell. This doesn't impact beyond the cell changed and one other non-output cell below it.
- Added a bit more formatting to NG Supply sheet for some inputs and a drop down.
