Propane Mower Emissions Data
Emissions Advantage For Propane Commercial Mowers
Information on the emissions benefits of implementing propane mowers.
The lower emissions of propane impact contractors in more ways than one. Mower fleets that utilize propane can leverage their clean operations in marketing to green-minded customers. It doesn’t hurt that propane creates a cleaner, more pleasant work environment, too.
Methodology
From August 2016 through January 2017, the Propane Education & Research Council contracted the Gas Technology Institute (GTI) to execute a comparative emissions analysis study of targeted applications in key propane markets, including commercial landscape. The report studied three emissions types: full-fuel-cycle energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and criteria pollutant emissions (NOx, SOx).
Commercial Mowers
Propane improves both sides of the balance sheet — by cutting fuel costs, and by helping contractors win more bids with green-minded customers. Propane also increases productivity with convenient refueling options.
- Sulfur Oxide (SOx): 16% less vs. gasoline
- Nitrogen Oxide (NOx): 19% less vs. gasoline
- Greenhouse Gases (GHG): 17% less vs. gasoline
