To allow the original publication to be better understood [1], the authors would like to make the following updates. In the text, the following updates have been made: “Carbon dioxide emanations” has been replaced with “carbon dioxide emissions”; “Greenhouse emanations” has been replaced with “greenhouse gas emissions”; “CO2 emanations” has been replaced with “CO2 emissions”. In the References section, the following update has been made: Reference [27] was wrongly cited. It has been corrected from “Baioumy, N.; Ismail, M.Z.; Ab Rahman, R.; Mohd, T.; Annuar, M.Z.M.; Haridi, E.A.
