Digestate, a key byproduct of anaerobic digestion (AD), holds residual methane potential (RMP) that must be stabilized or recovered to prevent greenhouse gas emissions after field use. Thermal hydrolysis (TH), typically a pretreatment for AD, improves biogas production. This study assesses RMP in digestates from food waste (FW) and sewage sludge (SS) biogas plants, treated with TH at 160 and 190 °C. For the liquid fraction, FW digestate at 160 °C yielded 1.5 times more methane than untreated digestate, while SS digestate showed a threefold increase. The solid fraction of FW digestate at 160 °C had 1.4 times higher methane yield than untreated, but SS digestate produced less methane after TH. Adding sulfuric acid after TH increased phosphate release but reduced methane production in both digestates. Overall, TH as a post-treatment enhanced organic content release into the liquid fraction, enhancing methane yield, while acid addition improved phosphorus solubility, thereby enhancing digestate's nutrient value. © 2025 The Authors This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Licence (CC BY 4.0), which permits copying, adaptation and redistribution, provided the original work is properly cited (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).
