input: ./path/to/file  # obligatory
loader: cki           # required, if file name other than `.ckr`
options:
  species: ./thermdata.ckt  # Optional name of resource of type SpeciesDatabase. Can also be a list of resources
  pressure: 100000    # Convert PLOG reactions to Arrhenius reactions for given temperature
