•Co-digestion of CM and CS were investigated under batch and continuous conditions.•CSTR showed stable methane yield of 223±7mL/gVSadded at OLR of 4gVS/L/d.•Post-digestion of digestate gave extra energy yield up to 2.6MJ/kgVSadded.•Pyrolysis of digestate could produce valuable pyrolysis gas with LCV...
