About SavBAT
The Savanna Burning Abatement Tool (SavBAT) automates the GIS processes and mathematical equations required to
estimate
the net abatement for projects registered under savanna fire management determinations of the Australian
Government’s
Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF). SavBAT uses monthly fire scar maps from the North Australia and Rangelands Fire
Information service (NAFI).
Together with user supplied project data and Years-Since-Last-Burnt maps, these enable the calculations within
each savanna fire management
determination to be followed with minimal user time or effort. SavBAT reports meet some of the record keeping
and
reporting requirements of the savanna fire management determinations.
