Calculators
Threshold estimator and user guide
The threshold estimator (XLS 5.12 mb) is a tool to assist users to self-assess if:
The threshold estimator can be used to obtain an estimate of covered emissions, scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, energy production, and energy consumption based on data entered by the user.

Solid waste calculator and user guide
The solid waste calculator (XLSX 2.23 mb) has been designed to aid corporations and others to assess the greenhouse gas emissions from landfill operations. This is done in accordance with the NGER Regulations 2008 and the methodologies of relevant parts of Chapter 5 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination 2008. It is applicable for the 2008–09 to 2011–12 NGER reporting years. The calculator also helps entities to estimate the release of legacy and non-legacy emissions from landfills.
If you need further information about using the solid waste calculator, or the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting and Clean Energy requirements in relation to emissions from landfill activities, refer to the NGER solid waste disposal on land 2.2 (PDF 3.8 mb).
NGER wastewater (Domestic and Commercial) calculator
The NGER domestic and commercial wastewater calculator is designed to aid corporations and others to assess the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the treatment of domestic and commercial wastewater. This is done in accordance with the NGER Regulations 2008 and the methodologies of relevant parts of Chapter 5 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination 2008. The calculator is applicable for the 2008-09 to 2011-12 NGER reporting years.

Uncertainty calculators and user guides
The uncertainty calculators have been designed to assist registered corporations in assessing and reporting the uncertainty associated with their scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions under the NGER scheme. The calculations and factors incorporated in the calculators are in accordance with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Regulations 2008 and the methodologies of Chapter 8 of the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Determination 2008.
The calculators have been developed to streamline data entry for reporting in the Online System for Comprehensive Activity Reporting (OSCAR). Registered corporations should note that they can use OSCAR to populate the NGER uncertainty calculator tool once all emissions and energy data has been entered into OSCAR.
