The objective of this work was: to obtain solid biofuel from the shell of the chestnut fruit (Bertholletia Excelsa) in order to rescue this existing solid residue in local markets and be used as an input in the generation of heat energy, necessary in the various productive activities. The work carried out has a explicative quantitative approach. The study population was constituted by the shells of the chestnut fruits (Bertholletia Excelsa) obtained in the markets of the nativity scene of the city of Iquitos, the type of sampling is random at the discretion of the researchers, considering the size of the sample. a maximum of 3Kg (1500 g. Nativity Market, 1500 g. Model Market). The results obtained from the 2 samples analyzed, from the Belén and Modelo markets, resulted in the following average values of calorific value M1: 12,939 kcal/kg, M2: 4,663 kcal/kg, M3: 7,581 kcal/kg, which correspond to 6 tests performed for each sample respectively. In conclusion, it was shown that a solid biofuel can be obtained in the form of briquettes with chestnut shells with a high calorific value compared to biofuels from other fruit residues.
