A Birmingham-based energy company has signed an agreement with a Canadian firm to develop clean fuels in South Africa, according to longtime Alabama attorney and entrepreneur Donald Watkins in an article at his Web site, DonaldWatkins.com.

Watkins, chairman and CEO of Masada Resource Group LLC since 20025,  says, "Masada is a leading waste-to-energy technology company with proven proprietary technology that converts ordinary garbage into fuel-grade ethanol."As for the company's project with a Canadian partner in South Africa, Watkins writes:

On October 12, 2022, I published an article titled, “Masada: The Demand for Clean Fuel Conquers All.” A lot of positive things have happened in the global marketplace since this article was published.

Since 1998, I have owned a company named Watkins-Pencor, LLC. It is the designated “Manager” of the Masada Resource Group, LLC, family of companies. Masada is an international waste-to-fuel technology company.

Between 2007 and 2017, Masada established 19 international partnerships to facilitate the commercial deployment of waste-to-fuel market opportunities in over 40 locations around the world.

Watkins-Pencor also holds an ownership interest in various Masada affiliates worldwide.

On August 22, 2023, Masada executed a Project Management Services Agreement with TWD Technologies Ltd., headquartered in Burlington, Ontario (Canada), to provide end-to-end project management services for its planned $300 million USD waste-to-energy project in the Durban/Mandeni area of South Africa.

TWD is an engineering, procurement, and construction management consulting company that provides project development, execution, and specialty engineering services to the Energy and Infrastructure sectors.

With soaring fuel costs, Masada offers common-sense solutions to the production of clean-burning fuels at affordable prices per gallon or liter.

Watkins has found another valuable partner, this one close to home, in Alabama:

Masada’s 2007 “Sponsored Research Agreement” with Auburn University broadened the company’s portfolio of energy-creating solutions and gave us a sustained competitive advantage, worldwide.

Masada and Watkins-Pencor enjoyed a reputation for excellence in the field of clean energy and international business. In 2015, Masada was the recipient of the Alabama Governor’s Trade Excellence Award. The company's achievements in business and accomplishments in the clean-energy sector have been recognized by global biofuels organizations and trade publications.
