Introduction The requirements for reporting uncertainty have
changed for the 2013-2014 reporting period. You are required to
report uncertainty if one or more of your facilities has scope 1
emissions from a source and/or fuel type from fuel combustion that
are equal to, or greater than, 25,000 tonnes of CO 2 -e. The Clean
Energy Regulator has produced the Uncertainty Calculator to assist
you to calculate the uncertainty percentage for each source. For
the 2013-2014 reporting period, the process of entering EERS data
into the Uncertainty Calculator has been made easier for reporters.
