Corrigendum to Sustainability guardrails for energy scenarios of the global energy transition [Renew. Sustain. Rev. (2018) 91 321–334]

Abstract

The authors regret that on page 324, subsection 2.1.3 of the publication a presented statistic was used inaccurately and improperly cited. The statistics attributed to global nuclear safety incidents should more accurately be applied to all low-carbon energy systems collectively over the time period. The correct statistics attributed to nuclear safety incidents only are reported to be 172 incidents, USD 241 billion in property damage and 4803 deaths. These statistics should also be properly attributed to Sovacool et al., Balancing safety with sustainability: assessing the risk of accidents for modern low-carbon energy systems. Journal of Cleaner Production 2016;112:3952-3965. These errors do not affect the main results or conclusions of the publication in any way. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
