The increasing contamination of water bodies by fats, oils, and grease (FOG) poses significant environmental operational challenges, necessitating the development advanced remediation technologies. Aerogels, with their ultra-lightweight structure, high porosity, tunable surface chemistry, have emerged as promising sorbents for efficient FOG removal. This comprehensive review explores recent advancements in aerogel materials, highlighting novel formulations, functional modifications, nanotechnology integrations that enhance sorption capacity reusability. It delves into mechanistic aspects sorption, providing insights how interactions structural properties influence performance. sustainability aerogels is emphasized, particularly use bio-based eco-friendly materials align green strategies. A comparative analysis conventional underscores advantages terms efficiency, impact, cost-effectiveness. Furthermore, real-world applications, including oil spill cleanup wastewater treatment, are discussed alongside regulatory considerations, future research directions. By offering a holistic perspective on potential remediation, this serves valuable resource researchers industry professionals seeking innovative sustainable solutions management.
