ABSTRACT: The determination of biochemical methane potential (BMP) is very important for the valorization of food wastes. This study is focused on the evaluation of the theoretical methane production from chemical oxygen demand (COD) of some food wastes, coming out Akouedo landfill. Almost all of the considered samples exhibited methane theoretical yields equal to about 402.5 - 507.8 mLCH4/gVS. These results indicate the suitability of all the studied food wastes from Akouedo landfill to be converted into energy.
