Abstract

The authors regret that the printed version of the above article has an error. The authors apologise for any inconvenience caused and would like to amend the typo in the fourth paragraph of the manuscript. • In the fourth paragraph, the original statement was “In 2019, about 98 × 106 t of methane (a main component in LNG) were released by the maritime sector as a result of leakage during the transportation/bunkering and incomplete combustion (Comer et al., 2022).”• The correct and final version shall be “In 2019, about 98 × 106 kg of methane (a main component in LNG) were released by the maritime sector as a result of leakage during the transportation/bunkering and incomplete combustion (Comer et al., 2022).”The authors stress that the typo does not affect the conclusion, as it was not used in the calculation. The conclusion that ‘1% methane leakage from LNG ships’ drawing from the related sentence remains valid. The detailed calculation is given below: [Formula presented] [Formula presented] [Formula presented], which is consistent with the authors' conclusion of 1 % release in the manuscript. Data for Eq. (1) is taken from Fig. ES2 in “Comer B, O'Malley J, Osipova L, Pavlenko N. Comparing the Future Demand For, Supply Of, and Life-Cycle Emissions From Bio, Synthetic, and Fossil LNG Marine Fuels in the European Union. 2022. https://theicct.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Renewable-LNG-Europe_report_FINAL.pdf”. Data for Eq. (2) is taken from page 8 Annex in “International Maritime Organization, Report of fuel oil consumption data submitted to the IMO Ship Fuel Oil Consumption Database in GISIS (Reporting year: 2019). 2019. https://wwwcdn.imo.org/localresources/en/OurWork/Environment/Documents/Air%20pollution/MEPC%2076-6-1%20-%202019%20report%20of%20Fuel%20Oil%20Consumption%20Data%20submitted%20to%20the%20IMO%20Ship%20Fuel%20Oil%20Consumption%20Database%20in%20GISIS.pdf”.
