Correction to CO2 Emissions Embodied in Interprovincial Electricity Transmissions in China Shen Qu, Sai Liang, and Ming Xu* Environ. Sci. Technol. 2017, 51 (18), 10893−10902; DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.7b01814. The following mistakes were found in the Results section of the published article. • In Section 4.1 of the paper (last sentence of the second paragraph on page 10898), the current version says “...to 8.18 tCO2/10MWh in Ningxia where thermal power (other than nuclear power) dominates.” That number actually should be 8.10 tCO2/10MWh. • In Supporting Information, one of the columns in Table S5 was messed up when copying and pasting. The correct table

is shown below with the changed column highlighted with bold type. All of the other contents comprising figures and discussions are based on the correct data and thus remain unchanged.
