The article presents the results of experimental studies using horse chestnut seeds (Aesculus hippocastanum) for the production of briquetted alternative solid fuel. Two types of crushed mixtures of horse chestnut seeds were used for the study: kernel and outer shell and kernel only. Calorimetric studies were carried out to determine the main parameters of the unformed and formed material: higher calorific value, ash content, and moisture content. It was determined that the average value of the higher calorific value for the unformed material is: for the mixture of the kernel and the outer shell of the seeds ~17549 kJ/kg, for the mixture of the kernel ~18351 kJ/kg. For the formed briquetted samples, the higher calorific value is ~18835 kJ/kg and ~18878 kJ/kg, respectively. The obtained data are close to the values of plant-based raw materials that are widely used to produce alternative solid fuels.
