This is especially true for <strong>CO2 emissions from mowing machines on a golf course<\/strong>. CO2 calculators for golf courses make it easy to see that greenkeeping, particularly diesel consumption by mowers, transporters, and handheld devices, is a key part of a golf operation&#8217;s CO2 balance. In the past five years, however, greenkeeping has changed significantly; electric mowers, whether autonomous robots or classic driver-operated models, are on the rise. The Swedish company Husqvarna alone reported in 2026, during the Husqvarna British Masters, that its electric mowers were active on over 2,000 golf courses worldwide. Established companies like TORO are also increasingly bringing electric mowers to the market. The Links Trust in St. Andrews has been mowing even the famous Old Course with electric TORO mowers for quite some time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much CO2 do electric mowers save? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This transformation goes hand in hand with a move away from fossil fuels and, at the same time, reduces CO2 emissions in greenkeeping. The exciting question is: How much CO2 do electric mowers actually save? However, research on this topic is scarce. Only the study <strong>&#8220;Autonomous and reel mowers in golf course fairway maintenance: A case study in Italy from the Italian golf course Montecchia&#8221; (2025)<\/strong>\u00a0currently highlights the potential of electric mowers from a scientific perspective regarding CO2 emission savings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The study results<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>relative reduction<\/strong> in CO2 <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">emissions from mowing the fairways of the 27-hole course was <strong>66.2 %; the absolute saving was 9.24 t CO2\/year<\/strong>.<\/span> A total of 10.69 hectares of fairways were mowed. Six autonomous, battery-powered Husqvarna CEORA mowers were compared with conventional, diesel-powered reel mowers from TORO. CO\u2082 values were calculated based on fuel and electricity consumption. CO\u2082 consumption with Toro 5510-D diesel mowers was 1305 kg\/hectare, while the Husqvarna Ceora model reduced it to 441 kg\/hectare. This corresponds to the annual CO\u2082 emissions of about 2.6 people in Sweden, or almost two-thirds of an American&#8217;s annual CO\u2082 emissions.<\/p>\n<p>It is also important what type of electricity powers an electric mower. Using self-generated solar power makes the balance even better than green electricity from the grid or a mix of electricity sources. The scientists from the participating Italian universities therefore set an emission factor of 0.53 kg CO2 per kWh of electricity, which can vary depending on the power grid and region.<\/p>\n<div class='avia-iframe-wrap'><iframe hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/uCaT-7a7ZQg?si=K4CmAGF9nnpUbkuk\" title=\"CO2 Emissions &amp; Reporting for Golf Courses | Golf Sustainable Academy\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uCaT-7a7ZQg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lscglpx3-26585527064be398bb2bdfb27c158d00 '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p><strong>Best Practice: 27 holes, 25 mowers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From theory to practice: Initial data on real savings in normal golf course operation can be obtained from facilities that have already completed a full season with new mowers and have complete data for both diesel mowers and electric mowers. One such facility is the <strong>27-hole golf course Golfpark Weiherhof in Germany<\/strong>.

They can vary depending on the brand and type of mower, electricity, and terrain. The so-called life cycle assessment, which also considers CO2 emissions from the production and supply chains of the mowers, is also still missing. However, none of this changes the realization that the potential for reducing emissions on golf courses is enormous and can apparently be realized relatively easily in greenkeeping.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mvja8qo9-7619cb60cf0c97152e4210be2878cde2 '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p><strong>How important is the CO2 balance for buyers?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To what extent, however, is this truly clear to the consumer? While discussions about electric mowers and robots often focus on noise reduction or machine reliability, manufacturers rarely promote CO2 emissions reductions in their advertisements or PR articles. This may also be because no large-scale scientific studies exist on the subject. Marketing based on individual cases quickly invites accusations of greenwashing.<\/p>\n<p>According to <strong>Maria Viking, Marketing Manager<\/strong><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><strong>, Sport and Golf at Husqvarna<\/strong>, sustainability matters<\/span> to the company&#8217;s customers. In this year&#8217;s customer survey, the statement \u201cRobotic mowing improves the sustainability of our turf management practices\u201d received the highest approval rating of any question in the agronomy section, with 4.6 out of 5 points. The survey included 80 course managers from ten European markets.<\/p>\n<p>Even if the data on electric mowers is still limited, it clearly shows that their existing success story could grow further through the reduction of CO2 emissions.<\/p>\n<div hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/husqvarna-kuendigt-ki-loesung-fuer-igel-problem-an\/\" class='avia-iframe-wrap'>\n<blockquote
