challenges in the coming decades. To address this issue, this proposal will investigate the feasibility of_x000D_
hydrothermally pretreated source-separated organic (SSO) waste as feedstock material for methane production._x000D_
A modern pre-treatment will be applied to SSO samples to optimize process-governing parameters such as_x000D_
tempertaure, pressure, hydraulic retention time in anaerobic digestion (AD) process. Key process parameters in_x000D_
this project will be defined experimentally. The findings from this study will improve overall process of SSO_x000D_
waste conversion to methane gas production via AD process, determine significant factors that slow down a_x000D_
process control and recommend an optimum solution for commercial utilization. Moreover, the results of the_x000D_
project will intrigue and facilitate future design, construction of new AD facilities and help with overcoming_x000D_
