Bacterial cellulose is a biodegradable and ecologically safe material that has the potential to convert mechanical vibrations into electrical energy. This review introduces green energy harvesting, a novel concept that harnesses natural processes to provide sustainable energy. A thorough overview of bacterial cellulose, covering its distinctive features, its biological origin, and its energy conversion process, is fully presented. The different materials and methods used to design and fabricate bacterial cellulose‐based energy harvesters are explored. Moreover, the various applications and benefits of these devices in the context of renewable energy are examined. The current challenges and limitations of this emerging field are identified and the possible avenues for future research are suggested. The significance of adopting eco‐friendly approaches in achieving a balance between human needs and environmental preservation is highlighted. By providing a comprehensive and critical assessment of bacterial cellulose as a green energy harvester, this review aims to motivate researchers, engineers, and policymakers to tap into the rhythmic potential of this natural material in building a more sustainable and resilient future.
