This subsection details what an uncertainty is, why these are an integral part of the Bilan Carbone® method, and how to estimate them, whether qualitatively or quantitatively:

• 4.4.1 - Why uncertainties?

• 4.4.2 - How to determine them?

As a reminder, the emissions from each emission source of the organization are estimated as follows:

Emission from a source = Activity data x emission factor = result ± uncertainty
