Abstract
The population increase in Mexico has demanded an increase of the drinking water and sewer nets. This has
brought the construction of waste water treatment plants (WWTP), a fact that has generated more waste water
treatment and, at the same time, an increase of the waste sludge produced. Waste sludge is an environmental
problem given the quantities, volumes and contamination it generates. Sludge can be used to produce electric
energy, though, by the use of anaerobic digestion systems. For instance Mexico alone generates about 640.000
tons of waste sludge a year. The scope of this article is to analyze from an interdisciplinary viewpoint, at a world
scale, the use of biosolids to produce energy and be the basis to develop such type of projects in Mexico.
