Equation 9 in [Section 2.2 line 332] was erroneously given as A C C   € a = F C I · I R · 1 + I R y 1 + I R y − 1 + I R · y 9 .

The correct equation is A C C   € a = F C I · I R 1 + I R y 1 + I R y − 1 + y 1 − 9 − 1 .

Equation 8 in [Section 2.2 line 328] was erroneously given as [ T C I = F C I · 1 − w o r k i n g   c a p i t a l − 1 ].

The correct equation is T C I = F C I 1 − w o r k i n g   c a p i t a l

Equation 6 in [Section 4.3 line 559] was erroneously given as N P C   € k g = 1.53 + 0.92 + 247.1 + 0.5 M € 2018 a 248 , 807.8   t a = 1 € 2018 k g .

The correct equation is N P C   € k g = 0.7 + 0.92 + 247.1 + 0.5 M € 2018 a 248 , 807.8   t a = 1 € 2018 k g . Its equation number has to updated to (10).

Text correction

[With an assumed interest rate of 5%, see Table 1, and equation (9) the ACC equals 1.53 M€2018 a−1. Given the values of Table 7, the OL results 0.49 M€2018 a−1. In Table 10 the intermediate and the main result of the OPEXind calculation is shown].

A correction has been made to the section 4.3 Economic analysis:

“[With an assumed interest rate of 5%, see Table 1, and equation (9) the ACC equals 0.7 M€2018 a−1. Given the values of Table 7, the OL results 0.49 M€2018 a−1. In Table 10 the intermediate and the main result of the OPEXind calculation is shown.]”
