About
An energy company, starting with biomass.
Fazza Holdings Limited is a Tanzanian energy company. We turn agricultural and wood-processing residues into dependable industrial fuel, and we are building toward supplying energy itself: electricity and heat.
- Today
- Prepared biomass fuel for industrial thermal energy.
- Building
- Screened feedstock, drying, briquettes and pellets.
- Destination
- Containerized generation; power and heat sold to customers.
Energy solutions
Two fuels. One industrial standard.
Wood-processing residue
Sawdust
Fine residue from sawmilling and timber processing, prepared as a wood-based thermal fuel.
Currently suppliedNext-generation biomass fuels
From loose residue to engineered fuel.
We are developing the capability to manufacture standardized industrial briquettes and pellets.
Biomass briquettes
Compressed biomass: denser, more uniform, easier to store and move.
- Format
- Compressed blocks or logs
- Made from
- Sawdust, rice husk, screened woody residues
- For
- Industrial boilers, kilns and furnaces
- Why
- Higher density than loose biomass
Biomass pellets
Small, uniform cylinders for suitable automated combustion and handling systems.
- Format
- Small uniform cylinders
- Made from
- Fine, dry, screened biomass
- For
- Systems with automated fuel feeding
- Why
- Free-flowing and consistent
Not yet manufactured or offered for sale. Specifications and availability will be confirmed with customers. Product photographs are illustrative.
Feedstock recovery
More residues. Carefully screened.

Accepted
- Clean, untreated wood
- Verified agricultural residues
- Legally and sustainably sourced
Rejected
- Paint, varnish or coatings
- Preservative or chemical treatment
- Glues, resins, laminates (chipboard, MDF)
- Plastic or metal contamination
- Other hazardous substances
- Illegal timber or protected species
Recovered wood is accepted only after inspection. Treated or contaminated wood is not suitable for fuel and is rejected.

Why consistency matters to industrial buyers
- Predictable handling
- Uniform size and flow
- Consistent firing
- Steadier fuel properties, batch to batch
- Simpler logistics
- Denser fuel can mean fewer loads
- Clear procurement
- Specify the fuel; verify it on delivery
Expected benefits of standardized fuel. Actual results depend on the equipment and will be measured.
Operations
From source to customer.
- 01
Source
Rice mills and sawmills. Morogoro today; Kahama and Shinyanga developing.
- 02
Prepare
Contaminants removed, material conditioned.
- 03
Control
Moisture below 10% typical, 15% maximum.
- 04
Store & move
Protected storage, planned transport.
- 05
Deliver
Scheduled to site, documented every time.
- Moisture managed from collection
- Kept within the agreed specification from source to delivery.
- Protected, clean handling
- Storage and transport that prevent moisture gain and contamination.
- A complete paper trail
- Purchase order, delivery note and delivery report for every supply.
Stages are carried out by Fazza or coordinated with suppliers and transport providers.
Customers
Working with industrial customers.
Industrial plants rely on fuel that arrives as agreed. That is the standard we work to.

Our journey
From fuel supplier to energy provider.
Each stage builds the capability for the next.
- 1Current
Biomass fuel supply
Sourcing, preparation and industrial delivery.
- 2In development
Quality & drying
Moisture control, drying integration, consistency.
- 3In development
Briquettes & pellets
Standardized densified fuels from screened residues.
- 4Future
Containerized energy systems
Modular biomass energy units at or near customer sites.
- 5Long-term goal
Electricity & direct heat sales
Generating power and heat, sold directly to customers.
The destination
Energy as the product, not only the fuel.
- Prepared biomass
- Containerized unit
- Electricity + heat
- Customer site
Stages 2–5 are plans and intentions, not current operations or capacity. Timing depends on investment, partners and market conditions.
Sustainability
Residues, put to productive use.
- Residue utilisation
- Milling and timber by-products become fuel.
- Local supply chains
- Sourced in Tanzania, used in Tanzania.
- Resource efficiency
- Denser fuels move more energy per load.
- Fossil-fuel substitution
- Where biomass replaces fossil fuel, fossil use can fall. The effect depends on the process and the supply chain.
We publish no carbon or emissions figures and hold no sustainability certifications. Future claims will rest on measured data.
