The complementarity between energy resources can influence the performance of hybrid generation and storage systems, and can also decisively influence their design. Renewable resources may have intermittent characteristics that make the study of the influence of complementarity on the performance of hybrid systems quite difficult. The establishment of a performance limit of hybrid systems based on renewable resources and the study of the effects of complementarity considering this limit can provide interesting results. This performance limit can be established with an idealization of the mathematical functions describing the energy availability of the explored renewable resources. This article presents a method for analyzing the performance of hybrid systems based on complementary resources. The method allows to evaluate the influence of different levels of complementarity between the exploited resources on the cost of energy and capacity shortage. Utilizing idealized energy availability, the result sets a performance limit. •A method to evaluate the impact of complementarity on the performance and reliability of hybrid systems.•The energy availabilities of the renewable sources are idealized and allow the characterization of a limit of performance.•Different levels of complementarity can be related with design parameters of hybrid energy and storage systems.

The development of materials from renewable resources has been increasing, intending to reduce the consumption of fossil sources, with terpenes being one of the main families that reduce the consumption of isoprene. The study of the binary catalytic system neodymium versatate/dibutyl magnesium (NdV/Mg(-Bu)), for the coordination homopolymerization of β-myrcene and β-farnesene, was carried out analysing different [Nd] : [Mg] ratios (between 4 and 10). Reporting conversions of 92% and 83% at an [Nd] : [Mg] ratio of 8 for polymyrcene (PMy) and polyfarnesene (PFa), respectively, and microstructures comprising 1,4 content above 80% for both polymers (PMy, -59% and PFa, -83%).

Modern enzyme cocktails often include lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) as an accessory enzyme that enhances cellulose accessibility during hydrolysis. Although lignin is known to generally impede cellulose hydrolysis, previous research has demonstrated lignin's potential to act as a co-factor in boosting LPMO activity and that the negative impact of lignin limiting enzyme accessibility can be mitigated by sulfonated. When sulphonated lignin was added to microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel) the activity of the lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) was boosted, as determined when using a quartz crystal microbalance and dissipation monitoring (QCM-D).

As global phosphorus (P) stores rapidly decline, P fed algal blooms continue to threaten critical freshwater resources across the globe. In the Midwestern United States (US), particularly the Corn Belt, biorefineries could play a key role in addressing this issue. By recovering P from the byproducts of ethanol production these facilities could reduce the P content of distillers grain feed, thereby reducing P excreted in manures.

The leather industry generates significant amounts of waste, including chromium-tanned leather waste (CTLW), which poses environmental and health hazards due to chromium's potential toxicity. Efficient management of CTLW is crucial for environmental sustainability and resource recovery. Various methods exist for chromium recovery, including physical, chemical, and biological processes, with chemical methods, particularly substitution extraction using organic acids, showing promising results.
