        abstract = {The urgency to find sustainable energy alternatives has brought waste-to-energy (WTE) technologies into focus, offering innovative ways to address both waste management and energy generation. This study delves into methods like incineration, anaerobic digestion, gasification, and microbial fuel cells, which convert waste materials into energy carriers such as heat, biogas, and syngas. These carriers can then be harnessed to produce electricity efficiently. Beyond reducing waste accumulation and curbing greenhouse gas emissions, WTE systems contribute to renewable energy sources and environmental sustainability. Although challenges such as significant initial costs and emission control measures exist, continuous advancements are enhancing their efficiency and environmental impact. This research highlights the pivotal role of WTE technologies in promoting energy security and supporting a circular economy.},
