1 Correction to: The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment (2019) 24:51–63 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11367-018-1504-2

The wrong Supplementary file was originally published with this article; it has now been replaced with the correct file containing the following changes:

- An incorrect table cross-reference has been removed from Table S1.1

- The quantity of “Main Generator, 175kW” has been corrected in Table S1.2

- The unit of mass transported has been corrected in the “Small lorry” and “Sea freight” sections of Table S1.3.
