The work proposed an integrated system where the thermal energy demand of an AD is supplied using an air source heat pump (ASHP). The proposed system is compared to a baseline system, where the thermal energy is supplied by a natural gas-based heating system. Several machine learning models are developed for predicting biogas production, among which the Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) showed a superior performance (R2 = 0.84 and RMSE = 0.0755 L gVS − 1 day − 1). The GPR model further informed a thermodynamic model of the ASHP, which revealed the maximum biogas yield to be approximately 0.585 L.gVS− [1](1.day)[.day](1.day)− 1 at an optimal temperature of 55 ◦ C (thermophilic). Subsequently, life cycle assessment showed that ASHP-based AD heating systems achieved 28.1 %(thermophilic) and 36.8 %(mesophilic) carbon abatement than the baseline system. |\n\n1.
