Who uses NAEIS?
Prepare and certify emission reports for all emission sources subject to Section 21
Create facility, register facility user, approve/publish “Master List”, audit/review municipal emission inventory. Enter non-point source emissions.
Create facility, register facility user, approve/publish “Master List”, audit/review provincial emission inventory. Enter non-point source emissions.
Create facility, register facility user, initiate “Master List”, assist report, confirm, audit and review national emission inventory.

Municipality
Industry (Section 21 sources)
DOE
National Treasury
General Public
Collaborate with DEA to collect energy data from Industry to support environmental and energy programs
Verify accuracy of carbon tax reports from the industry against the NAEIS emission data to ensure proper tax collection

NAEIS REPORTING PROCESS FLOW
For each annual reporting cycle, we start from the “Master
List” to ensure the Inventory will be complete and involve all
stakeholders to achieve good data quality!
How NAEIS Enforces Good Data Quality
Full Accountability “Make it simple” by only showing data applicable to each user
Complete “audit trail” to track who-changes-what
Data Security Accounting Officers “AOs” must certify their reports
Once digitally signed, no change is allowed (not even Authority)
High data security
Secured Socket Layer (SSL)
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard compliance
Virus detection and deletion
24/7/365 Availability and Disaster Recovery (no data loss)
Cradle-to-Grave Report Life-cycle Management Report Life Cycle Tracking (NAEIS screen)
Auto email alerts to Authority and AOs till each EI obligation is met
Overview of NAEIS Features
Reporting Obligations & History • Reporting obligations for current year
• Reporting History
Emission Inventory Contents
Source – Reporting Entity basic information (name, location, etc.)
Contact – Reporting Entity contact person (primary and
secondary).
Stack – stacks connected to Emission Units
Emission Unit – units that emit pollutants
Reporting Group – if applicable, it is used to combine “similar”
emission units into one reporting group to simplify reporting.
Activity & Emission – describes operating schedules, material
used, and resulting emissions for each emission unit (or reporting
group). Each emission unit or reporting group must include at least
one Activity (multiple activities are supported).
Submit – certify and submit
Completeness Check – to help the reporting entity to verify data
quality to ensure meeting minimum submission criteria. If fields are
incomplete or incorrect, the System will generate warning or error
messages.
NAEIS Report Site Map – Contains the report in “Window
Explorer” like tree structure
Make It Easy for the Reporters
• Integrate Section 21 with SCC and IPCC
Linking Sec 21 with IPCC guidelines System handles both pollutants and GHGs

Turn Emission Data Into Information
Data Mining (1 of 2) • Search emission data by
• Pollutants, Year, Location, Energy Sector
• View Emissions, GHG-e, Global Warming Potential
GIS Features • Single or Group Pollutant (HAP, VOCs, GHG, etc.)
• Display “Hot Zones” by both Area and Individual Source
• Within each Source, display Emission Details and Total
• Include Emissions, GHG-e, Global Warming Potential
QA/QC Summary
QA-System does automatic run check, gives a report a score
QC- done outside the system and the inventory is externally
verified by independent reviewer
