SUPER ABSORBENT POLYMERS A Pathway to Prosperity

MAKING BETTER USE OF WATER WITH POLYMERS What You Should Know:
• Super absorbent polymers can absorb 300 to 400 times their weight of water and can absorb water-‐soluble nutrients, herbicides, and pesticides.
• The use of superabsorbent polymers in agriculture reduces the need for irrigation, fertilizers, and other water-‐soluble chemicals.
• The less costly the input in producing crops, the cheaper food becomes, and the better it is for the environment.
• As enthusiasm and subsidies have increased for bio-‐fuel crops such as ethanol, croplands have been over-‐farmed in an unsustainable manner with fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. Super-‐absorbent polymers allow for greater sustainability and production by reducing the amount of chemicals required to make cropland productive.
• Super absorbent polymers can be produced as an extension of producing synthetic natural gas from coal.
• Coal to synthetic natural gas conversion helps stabilize and reduce the volatility of the natural gas market due to a dependable low cost feedstock, coal. America was the first nation to scale this commercially.
• Molten Salt Reactors produce a tremendous amount of heat that can make the production of synthetic natural gas both cheap and environmentally friendly.
The eGeneration Foundation is working to form an alliance to develop a national energy plan, promoting the next generation of fuels powered by Molten Salt Reactor technology. As studies and analysis of this promising technology are widely understood, there will be widespread industry support for commercializing this next generation process, thus providing a clear pathway to prosperity.
