Abstract

In this communication, we give the following corrigendum to the original paper, “A comparison between renewable transport fuels that can supplement or replace biofuels in a 100% renewable energy system” [1], to correct some typos and a figure which could mislead the readers:

Firstly, the incorrect figure was inserted as Fig. 9. The existing Fig. 9 was part of the supplementary information and it represents the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide using co-electrolysis. The correct Fig. 9 is provided below, which is meant to represent the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide using steam electrolysis.

Furthermore, the stoichiometric equations provided contain two errors relating to the energy densities provided. Firstly, the energy density used for methane in the calculations was 890 kJ/mol and not the 800 kJ/mol presented in the paper. The energy density of methane can vary across this range [2], but the issue is that the energy density assumed in the calculations is 890 kJ/mol, and not the 800 kJ/mol reported.

Finally, the energy density reported here for carbon monoxide is incorrect. It should be 283 kJ/mol, instead of the 393 kJ/mol reported. Again, the correct energy density is used in the calculations, which is 283 kJ/mol, so this is a reporting error.
