Introduction of electric golf carts
Transition from gasoline golf carts to electric golf carts
We are transitioning from gasoline golf carts to electric golf carts at our Group’s golf courses.Through the shift to electric golf carts, we are working to reduce the amount of CO₂, a greenhouse gas, emitted from gasoline golf carts.
CO₂ reduction effect
Compared with gasoline golf carts, electric golf carts reduce CO₂ emissions by 1,250 tons.
Calculation method
・CO₂ emissions from gasoline carts Gasoline consumption per cart
0.9 (L/round) x 300 (rounds/year) x 2,016 carts = 544,320 (L/year)
* Gasoline consumption per round uses averaged measurements by PGM.
・CO₂ emissions conversion CO₂ emissions per liter of gasoline
2.3 (kg/L) x 544,320 (L/year)= 1,251,936 (kg) ≒ 1,250 (t)
