On page 114 of zerocarbonbritain2030 it suggests that higher yields are available from lignocellulosic “second generation” biofuel feedstocks than from first generation feedstocks. This was printed in error. It is not the case. The other points concerning the benefits of second generation biofuels (that they can be grown on a wider variety of types of land, and that the greenhouse gas balances are generally better) remain.

In Table 8.4 on page 267, the number of 5MW turbines required is given as 3,900 - it should be 39,000 (as stated in the text above).
