“…The starches that exist within plants, such as sweet sorghum or sugarcane corn, and some algal species are the main sources of bioethanol, an alcohol produced through fermentation (Dhandayuthapani et al., 2022; Jayakumar et al., 2023; Selvakumar et al., 2022). Research is also being done on using cellulosic biomass produced through sources other than food, including trees and grass, as raw materials for making ethanol (Sallustio et al., 2022).…”

The greatly rising amounts of sewage sludge from different sources are causing severe concerns around the globe. Disposal of sewage sludge is exceptionally difficult and poses serious environmental problems due to the significant quantity of toxic heavy metals and organic contaminants in its constituents. This review provides an overview of different conversion methods of sewage sludge into energy, that is, pyrolysis, hydrothermal gasification, hydrothermal liquefaction, hydrothermal carbonization, anaerobic digestion, and transesterification. It also focuses on each conversion route's state‐of‐the‐art research advances, features, and drawbacks to ensure financial and ecological responsibility. The detailed descriptions of the methods and respective energy generation could help scholars and industrialists produce energy from sewage sludge to keep the environment harmless.
