Golf Course Carbon Footprint Calculator Computes Impact

| February 15, 2011

Based on national averages, the calculator reports the total net carbon emissions, given in tons, for the entire golf facility.

Environmental & Turf Services (ETS) and The Golf Resource Group (GRG) have released a carbon footprint calculator, a tool that calculates a golf course’s carbon impact and helps save money.

Released under the name CarbonSave®, a co-branding effort of ETS and GRG, the basic golf-specific calculations are free and available to any golf course. The calculator—accessed through the web site http://thegolfresourcegroup.com/carbon-footprinting.html—allows the user to input the course’s basic resource data relating to the various everyday uses. This includes such inputs as energy use, fertilizer and pesticide consumption, and fuel used, including gasoline and diesel. Mileage driven by company vehicles is also an option.

Based on national averages, the calculator reports the total net carbon emissions, given in tons, for the entire golf facility. It also calculates the total percentages of emissions attributed to each use, identifying areas of highest priority for reduction and potential cost savings.

To learn more and to download a free copy of the CarbonSave® Carbon Footprint Calculator for Golf, visit http://thegolfresourcegroup.com/carbon-footprinting.html and click to download the calculator.
