The objective of this research is to determine the energy potential of biomass residues of agriculture, agroindustry and the forest industry in Peru. The result of this work has been BIOMAP PERU or Biomass Energy Atlas of Peru that presents the biomass energy supply at provincial and departmental level in the country. Its development involved the selection of biomass residues with more energy potential, the analysis of national statistics of agricultural and forestry production from 2003 to 2011 year; waste field sampling and the physical chemical characterization of the residues. A mathematical model was applied to determine the energy potential of each biomass residue. The information was processed by product and geographical location. The result is presented as tables and maps. The research work shows that Peru generates over 10’247,000 TM of waste material that represent 2’991,711 TEP that can be used as energy. These biomass waste are mainly integrated by crop residues from sugarcane (21%), corn stems, leaves and cobs (35%), bagasse (17%), rice husk (4%), rice straw (14%), asparagus straw (2%), cotton straw (6%), chip and sawdust (1%).The departments with more energy potential are La Libertad (26%), Lambayeque (16.7%), Lima (13%), San Martin (7.1%) and Piura (11.7%).
