Microalgae cultivated in waste water could contribute to increased biomass production at municipal waste watertreatment plants. The biomass could be utilized for biogas production when co-digested with sewage sludge. In thispaper previous published results on co-digestion of sewage sludge and microalgae are summarized and remainingknowledge gaps are identified. The available batch tests in literature mostly concern digestion at mesophilicconditions. Some of those tests indicate a synergetic effect for the co-digestion. Investigations at thermophilicconditions and of semi-continuous processes are scarce. The available results show good possibilities for co-digestionof sewage sludge and microalgae. Further investigations are needed to find optimal conditions for biogas production.
