This paper provides a comprehensive review of hybrid waste‐to‐energy (WTE) systems that integrate anaerobic digestion (AD) and biomass gasification, emphasizing their synergistic benefits in sustainable energy production waste management. By combining biochemical thermochemical processes, these maximize recovery, optimize resource utilization, significantly mitigate environmental impacts. The study highlights the principles operational dynamics standalone AD gasification technologies, showcasing how integration addresses limitations such as incomplete conversion excessive digestate production. Hybrid demonstrate superior performance converting diverse feedstocks, including municipal solid (MSW), agricultural residues, food waste, into renewable valuable by‐products. Advancements reactor designs, pretreatment techniques, system configurations are discussed, with focus on enhancing efficiency reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Pretreatment methods advanced sorting mechanisms explored to address feedstock variability improve process stability. Key synergies, utilizing heat from dry further boost overall efficiency. identifies critical parameters composition conditions influence explores emerging solutions. Economic benefits, improved yields cost efficiency, potential AD–gasification systems. Despite advantages, challenges persist, particularly scaling managing variability. Infrastructural complexity balancing processes remain significant barriers widespread adoption. reviewing existing research case studies, this underscores role achieving global goals management practices. Ultimately, offer promising pathway for transitioning cleaner systems, maximizing valorization, supporting shift toward circular economy.
