{{refn|group=note|1=Many of the values in the column for lignite power stations must be too low: this is partly because Carbon Brief has not taken into account the actual generation: this can be seen by the routine calculation of dividing the number in the generation column of List of active coal-fired power stations in Turkey by 1000 (because the average emission factor is 31 tCO2/TJ for Turkish lignite,{{sfnp|Turkstat report|2020|p=50}} so it must emit well over 1000g CO2 per kWh) and noticing that it is larger than the number in this column.
