[[Bioelectrochemical systems]] (BESs) are ~~systems~~ integrated systems combining wastewater treatment with energy production and resource recovery. They utilize microorganisms to biochemically catalyse complex substrates into useful energy products, in which the catalytic reactions take place on electrodes<ref>[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9780128111574000073 Sustainable Waste-to-Energy Technologies: Bioelectrochemical Systems]</ref>.

BESs have boomed over the past decade for their contribution as an emerging sustainable technology for concurrent electricity production and wastewater treatment. In addition, BESs also offer unique possibilities for clean and efficient production of fuels and high-value chemicals using microorganisms. Applications of BESs include: microbial desalination cells (MDCs), sediment/plant microbial fuel cells (MFCs), microbial electrosynthesis (MES) converts CO2 or organic molecules to higher value organic molecules, they are efficient bioreactors for the treatment of pollutants and toxic wastewater (process known as bioelectrochemical treatment (BET)/microbial electroremediation (MER)).
