For encouraging eco-friendly products, propane lawn mowers are the modernized development and innovation in the industry of lawnmowers. This green fuel is also projected to burn around 35% cleaner than gas on average. These oils are carbon-free, thereby running longer than the gas-powered ones by more than 25%. Compared to diesel engines, propane decreases the use of energy supplies by almost 20%, NOx emissions by about 19%, greenhouse gas pollution by 17%, and Sulphur oxides (Sox) pollution by almost 16%.

Some well-known manufacturers in the propane-powered lawn mowers market are Bobcat, Dixie Chopper, Exmark, Husqvarna, Deere & Co., and Toro. Further, the US-based Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) sponsors a reward program that offers USD 1,000 to landscape contractors eligible when they buy a new propane mower or USD 500 when they convert their gas-powered mowers to propane-powered mowers.

EMERGING SCENARIO AFTER COVID-19

Lawnmowers are commonly known to have had commercial usage, but the scenario has transformed, and these types of equipment are now widely used in residential applications. Especially while the pandemic was at its peak, people started indulging in gardening, lawn care, and backyard beautification. These household owners emphasize using eco-friendly products, thus boosting the propane-powered lawn mowers market.
