The objective of this study was to implement a pilot bioenergy system for the intelligent management of solid waste and generation of clean energy through the use of chestnut shells at the ASCART processing plant, Puerto Maldonado, Madre de Dios. Electrical energy was obtained through thermochemical processes that involved pyrolysis and gasification operations of the chestnut shell to obtain producer gases. A simple system was installed on a pilot scale with defined capacities and scientifically proven methodologies. The results of the study show the feasibility and ideal characteristics of experimental biomass for the generation of electrical energy that can gradually replace conventional energy; however, it was found that the currently installed system can only supply 14 % of the demand. energy of the ASCART plant.
