By trapping ammonia in litter, poultry house ammonia emissions in the environment are lowered. However, the positive environmental impact of PLT\u00ae<\/sup> use goes far beyond binding ammonia.<\/p>\n

Impact of PLT on CO2<\/sub> Emissions<\/h2>\n

The Sustainability Research Group at the University of Toledo evaluated the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions from PLT application in poultry house operations. Reductions in CO2<\/sub> emissions were found in two areas:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Lower energy use over a 6 week grow-out from reduction in heating fuel and use of ventilation electricity<\/li>\n
  2. CO2<\/sub> impact from the production and distribution of PLT<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Application of one ton of PLT reduced propane consumption by 400 – 625 gallons on average and saved 4,350 kW of electricity over a 6-week growout.<\/p>\n

    The proper application of one ton of PLT reduces CO2 <\/sub>emissions by 16,200 pounds in winter and 3,100 pounds in summer over a 6 week grow-out.<\/p>\n

    Life Cycle Assessment of PLT<\/h2>\n

    The process of sourcing, manufacturing, packaging, distributing and applying 1 ton of PLT generates 700 pounds of CO2.<\/p>\n
