Introduction The requirements for reporting uncertainty have changed for the 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 reporting period, the process of entering EERS data into the Uncertainty Calculator has been made easier for reporters. Please click on the button below to proceed.

The Facility Uncertainty page The Facility Uncertainty page lists the fuels that trigger the reporting uncertainty threshold. You will be required to enter the uncertainty percentage for each item in the list. You can use the Uncertainty Calculator to determine the percentage for each item by first exporting the data from EERS for use in the Calculator.
