In this technical note, we used the data for municipal solid waste (MSW) for the year 2015–2016 but by mistake wrote it as 2005–2006. In view of that error, the following corrections should be noted:
•
In the column headings of Table 1:
1.
“MSW generation (2005−2006)” should be “MSW generation (2015−2016)”;
2.
“MSW generation (2030)” should be “MSW generation (2040)”;
3.
“Waste to energy potential in 2020 (MW)” should be “Waste to energy potential in 2030 (MW)”; and
4.
“Waste to energy potential in 2030 (MW)” should be “Waste to energy potential in 2040 (MW).”
•
In Table 2, the column headings 2020, 2025, and 2030 should be 2030, 2035, and 2040, respectively.
•
Throughout the technical note, year(s)/duration 2005–2030, 2020, 2025, and 2030 should be 2015–2040, 2030, 2035, and 2040, respectively.
•
The x-axis of Fig. 2 is modified by changing the scale of years. However, there is no change in the data and pattern.
