Thermochemistry of sodium rare earth ternary fluorides, NaREF 4

Sodium rare earth fluorides, NaREF 4 (RE = rare earth), are used as luminescent materials for light emission and biomedical applications and are important compositions for extracting and separating RE elements. Solution calorimetric measurements of a series of β-structured NaREF 4 (Na 1.5 RE 1.5 F 6 ) phases with various RE elements determined their heats of formation. Though the lattice contracts from light to heavy RE elements, NaREF 4 compounds show more exothermic enthalpies of formation from binary components with the decrease of RE 3+ radii, contrary to behavior seen in most RE oxide ternary compounds. Furthermore, by constructing Born–Haber cycles, the different slopes of lines relating lattice energies to lattice parameters in binary and ternary fluorides appear to be the reason for this reverse trend, which can be associated with changes in the coordination number of RE cations. These trends and the metastability of sodium light RE fluorides not only reveal the key role of ionic radius in RE compound stability, but also are significant for the design and synthesis of new materials and motivate the more effective utilization of RE.

Voluntary Renewable Energy Procurement Programs in Regulated Utility Markets

Multinational corporations are increasingly purchasing renewable energy (RE) to fulfill international commitments, reduce supply chain emissions, limit environmental impact, and secure stable and affordable electricity. The potential scale of global corporate RE purchasing has been estimated to be nearly 100 GW and growing; however, many markets still lack supportive enabling environments for corporations to access RE through on-site project development or private sector transactions. Even where allowed by law, on-site generation may be insufficient due to space and technical constraints, introducing additional challenges. Utility green pricing and utility green tariff programs backed by renewable energy certificates (RECs), referred to as utility green procurement programs (GPPs) in this report, offer powerful market-based solutions to utilities, regulators, and policymakers to provide corporate and other consumers with RE product options while generating revenue to support RE development. As RE markets expand around the globe, GPPs have proven to be effective mechanisms in market regimes, ranging from fully integrated state-owned utilities to broadly liberalized power markets. GPPs utilize RECs, which are a type of energy attribute certificate and closely resemble guarantees of origin, to track and ultimately monetize RE attributes that corporations and other buyers must procure to demonstrate progress against their RE commitments and make public claims of RE use. Time-tested and transparent REC accounting mechanisms provide market confidence, while at the same time offering flexibility to utilities, regulators, and customers for a range of applications. RECs are used in all types of electricity market structures, as indicated in Figure 1, but REC-based program designs and supporting components differ depending on the type of market. Liberalized markets allow for customers to contract directly with generators for electricity and RECs, while traditionally regulated markets with vertically integrated utility structures may have greater restrictions on generation asset ownership and electricity sales. RE markets can be further defined as being either mandatory or voluntary. Mandatory markets require suppliers to deliver specified amounts of RE to grid customers, such as under a renewable portfolio standard (RPS), while voluntary markets involve no legal mandates, but demand is driven by self-imposed customer goals.
