In alternative embodiments, provided are BioElectrochemical Systems (BESs) and methods using them for removing ionic compounds from water, treating organics in wastewater, and for energy recovery from the conversion of COto CHin an anaerobic setting, for example, for biogas upgrading, or the production of Hfrom water electrolysis. In alternative embodiments, provided are products of manufacture that are anoxic BioElectrochemical Systems (BES) for ion removal, energy recovery by the conversion of COto CH, or by the production of Hfrom water electrolysis wastewater treatment and/or biogas upgrading of COto CH. In alternative embodiments, a bioanode is inoculated with an engineered microbial community of natural occurring bacteria in the site wastewater. In alternative embodiments, the biocathode is inoculated with a methanogenic community or engineered microbes for chemical reduction and/or plastic degradation.
