        abstract = {This study investigates the potential of rotten grapes as a sustainable substrate for enhanced bio-gas production through anaerobic digestion, leveraging metal impregnated carbon additives. Optimizations include carbon sources, metal ions of ferric chloride, nickel chloride and pH correction using wood ash. Results show a 6% increase in bio-gas yield with optimal carbon additive concentrations (5% w/v). Rotten grapes demonstrate excellent bio-gas production potential, with improved bio-gas yield and pH stability achieved through metal impregnation and wood ash. This research contributes to the development of cost-effective, sustainable bio-gas production technologies, addressing environmental, economic, and energy security concerns. The findings provide valuable insights for scaling up bio-gas production from rotten grapes, promoting a circular economy and mitigating climate change.},
