Nicola Armaroli and Vincenzo Balzani
Energy Environ. Sci., 2011, 4 (DOI: 10.1039/10.1039/c1ee01249e). Amendment published 26 September 2011.
On page 3216, 2nd column, second paragraph, line 14. At the beginning of the sentence, "For efthereforexample, a plan that could provide..." should be replaced with "For example, a plan that could provide...".
Also, in Table 3 for the sake of ascending order of ranking by total primary energy, several lines in the table should be swapped around and it should be:
Table 3 Population, primary energy and electricity consumption, and CO2 emissions from the top 10 world energy consumers. For comparison, data for the whole world and Ethiopia are also reported| Country | Populationa | Primary energy [from ref. 7] | Electric energy consumptionb | CO2 emissionc | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total (Mtoe) | Per capita (toe/pers) | Total (TWh) | Per capita (kWh/pers) | Total (Mton) | Per capita (ton/pers) | ||
