• Key Concepts: 
  Estimation uncertainty is a term used in the EHS-CI SAP Carbon Impact component to describe the degree of accuracy of the estimates used in the calculation of carbon emissions. It is based on the quality and quantity of data available, as well as the assumptions made in the calculation process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Estimation uncertainty is used to determine the accuracy of the carbon emission calculations. It is important to understand the degree of accuracy of these calculations in order to make informed decisions about how to reduce emissions. The estimation uncertainty can be used to identify areas where more data or better assumptions are needed in order to improve accuracy. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When calculating carbon emissions, it is important to consider the estimation uncertainty and take steps to reduce it. This can be done by collecting more data, making better assumptions, or using more sophisticated methods for calculating emissions. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Estimation uncertainty is related to other concepts such as data quality and accuracy, which are also important when calculating carbon emissions. Additionally, estimation uncertainty can be used to identify areas where more research or data collection is needed in order to improve accuracy.
