Singapore diesel supplier crosses the billion-dollar mark amid tightening global supply, and extends into coal to provide energy for the world.
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 September 2026 – Concerns over tightening diesel supply are reshaping procurement across Asia. Buyers who once purchased on demand are now moving to secure stockpiles ahead of potential shortages — and the surge has pushed transaction volumes at Singapore’s fuel trading desks to record levels.
Fuel Incorporation Pte Ltd (“Fuelinc”), a Singapore diesel supplier holding term contracts with oil majors has now facilitated more than US$1 billion in gasoil and diesel transactions internationally, as governments, industrial buyers and traders move to lock in EN590 10ppm supply against an uncertain market.
“What we’re seeing is a fundamental shift in how buyers think about diesel,” said Charlie Tan, Director of Fuel Incorporation. “Nobody wants to be caught short. Parties that used to buy for on spot basis are now procuring an an annual basis — and they’re coming to Singapore to do it, because this is where the supply relationships are.”
Fuelinc’s position at the centre of these flows reflects Singapore’s role as the region’s energy trading hub. Alongside its domestic business — bulk EN590 10ppm diesel supplied island-wide through its own fleet of tankers to construction, logistics and industrial customers — the company has built an international trading desk spanning gasoil, crude oil, LPG, LNG, bunkering and vessel charter.
Expansion into coal. Fuelinc today also announced its expansion into coal supply, securing supply from an Indonesian coal mine to serve power-generation and industrial buyers across the region. The move extends the company’s mandate from fuels into the broader commodities that power economies — positioning Fuelinc as a single Singapore-based counterparty for the energy the world runs on.
“Energy security is no longer just about diesel,” Tan added. “The same customers asking us to secure their fuel are asking about coal for their power needs. With Indonesian supply behind us, we can now answer both.”

On 11 September, Électricité du Laos (EDL) and Chinese energy company Shenzhen Yichu Smart Energy Group Co., Ltd. exchanged an agreement to study battery energy storage systems in Laos.
The agreement was one of three signed or exchanged at the Laos–Hong Kong Business Forum in Hong Kong, which brought together more than 120 business representatives from Laos, Hong Kong and neighboring Chinese provinces.
The feasibility study will examine how Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) could help Laos store electricity and manage its power supply as the country expands solar and wind generation.
BESS can store electricity when there is more power available than needed and release it when demand rises. The technology can also store electricity generated by solar and wind when production is high, allowing it to be used later.
According to state media, the study will assess how battery storage could be developed and used in Laos’ future electricity system. Details on potential locations, storage capacity, investment costs and construction timelines have not yet been disclosed.
Hydropower Energy
The study comes as Laos continues to rely heavily on hydropower, which accounts for about 70 percent of the country’s electricity output, according to the most recent publicly available data from 2024, according to the MInistry of Industry and Commerce.
These concerns come as Laos seeks to expand variable renewable energy. The country’s power development strategy targets increasing solar and wind power to 11 percent of the energy mix by 2030.

Laos is hosting the Convention on Cluster Munitions’ Third Review Conference 16 years after it hosted the First Meeting of States Parties in 2010, which produced the original Vientiane Declaration and Action Plan.
More than 800 delegates are attending the conference, which runs from 14 to 18 September and is expected to adopt the five-year Vientiane Action Plan for 2027–2031. The plan focuses on three priorities: faster survey, clearance and risk education; sustainable assistance for victims; and predictable international cooperation aligned with the development goals of affected countries.
Lao Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone opened the conference, saying it marked a crucial milestone in turning commitments into measurable action. Speaking under the theme “Fulfilling the Promise of the Convention: Toward a World Free of Cluster Munitions,” he said Laos’ experience showed how the damage caused by these weapons can persist for decades after a war ends.
He described the Convention as a vital legal framework for one of the countries most heavily affected by cluster munitions and linked clearance efforts to Sustainable Development Goal 18, “Lives Safe from UXO.”
A Toll That Persists
The conference comes as Laos continues to record casualties from wartime contamination.
Laos remains the most heavily bombed country per capita in history: between 1964 and 1973, during the Vietnam War, US forces dropped more than 2 million tons of ordnance on a country whose population numbered around three million at the time, including cluster bombs that scattered hundreds of smaller submunitions on impact.
Roughly 30 percent failed to explode. Tens of thousands of Lao citizens have been killed or injured since, and the danger has not gone away, officials reported 15 accidents and 25 casualties in 2025, including six deaths, caused by decades-old bomblets rather than active use of the weapons.
Globally, cluster munitions killed or injured at least 1,063 people in 2025, the third-highest annual toll on record, according to the newly released Cluster Munition Monitor 2026.
Momentum Slipping Globally
International Committee of the Red Cross Vice President Jürg Lauber opened his remarks by crediting Laos with “powerful voice and strong moral authority” as host, given the country’s own history with the weapons.
He cautioned, however, that global momentum toward universal adherence has stalled: States Parties grew from just 110 to 112 over five years, as three nations joined while Lithuania became the Convention’s first-ever withdrawal in March 2025.
At the same time, countries outside the Convention continue to use and produce the weapons.
The Cluster Munition Monitor 2026 recorded use by Iran, Myanmar, Russia, Thailand and Ukraine during the reporting period. It also identified 18 countries that still produce cluster munitions or reserve the right to do so, none of which are party to the Convention.
The report found evidence of new production in China, India, Israel, Myanmar, North Korea, Poland, Romania, Russia and South Korea. It also reported evidence of transfers involving North Korea and Russia, as well as Israel and the United States.
Lauber urged countries to strengthen the international stigma against cluster munitions, work toward universal adherence to the Convention, and maintain funding for clearance and victim assistance.
Funding Remains a Concern
The pressure is not limited to the weapons themselves. The report also warns that declining humanitarian funding could undermine efforts to clear contaminated land and support survivors.
Around USD 116 million in international and national funding was provided to address cluster munition contamination in 2025. But the US foreign assistance freeze and subsequent grant cancellations disrupted clearance and victim assistance programs in several affected countries.
In Laos, the main multi-year project supporting victim assistance was forced to close following cuts to US funding, according to the report.
The Cluster Munition Coalition said the funding cuts are coming at a time when humanitarian needs are growing.
“This year’s findings show a convention that keeps delivering results to affected communities,” said Tamar Gabelnick, director of the Cluster Munition Coalition. “Yet the rising human toll, continued and new use, production, and transfers by states not party are stark warnings that these gains cannot be taken for granted.”
“And as humanitarian needs grow, funding cuts are stripping away the care survivors depend on.”
Despite these challenges, the amount of land released from cluster munition contamination by States Parties increased by 15 percent in 2025 compared with the previous year.
“The choice facing governments in Vientiane is not simply whether to reaffirm commitments made 16 years ago, but whether to dedicate the political leadership and resources needed to deliver on them,” Gabelnick said.
“For communities living with cluster munition contamination and for survivors requiring lifelong support, progress on paper must translate into meaningful change in their daily lives.”
HONG KONG, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AlphaPai, an AI investment research assistant developed by the financial AI company Rabyte Technology for professional investors, today announced the completion of a Series B funding round of US$50 million. It is the company’s third consecutive round of financing in the past year.
The round brought together strategic investors from across the financial sector, including insurance capital, securities firms, mutual funds, industrial capital and leading investment institutions. Participants included China Insurance Investment, the national investment platform for China’s insurance industry, and GF Xinde Investment Management, the private equity arm of GF Securities. Qiming Venture Partners, Ambrum Capital, Next Capital, Trustar Capital and Eastern Bell Capital also participated, alongside existing shareholders. China Renaissance continued to serve as the exclusive financial advisor to the transaction.
AlphaPai will use the proceeds to increase R&D investment in models and products, expand its multi-asset client base, and deepen industry collaboration across the upstream and downstream supply chain, while deeply cultivating its home market and steadily advancing its overseas footprint.
Industrial Capital Extends the Boundaries of Financial Services
A company built natively on financial AI grows by continuously entering the actual workflows of different institutions and asset classes, refining products and delivering against demand on the ground. A broader and stronger shareholder base reaffirms AlphaPai’s long-term value contribution and strengthens its relationship with the financial industry, moving from partnership toward deeper co-creation.
The participation of China Insurance Investment provides a vital anchor for AlphaPai to establish a foothold in insurance research and asset allocation. Insurance funds span equities, fixed income, alternatives and other asset classes, and involve lengthy research chains, high professional thresholds and stringent compliance requirements. This partnership validates AlphaPai’s capabilities in insurance capital scenarios, while also unlocking its AI research capabilities across a broader multi-asset universe.
GF Xinde Investment Management, a wholly owned private equity subsidiary of GF Securities, maintains a long-term focus on empowering the financial sector with AI. According to public information, the Guanggu Investment Venture Capital Fund participating in this round was jointly established by GF Xinde Investment Management and several financial industry institutions. It focuses on companies across the advisory industry chain, including independent advisory teams, service providers and financial technology companies. The fund serves as an “industry incubator” for the clustered development of service providers across the advisory ecosystem.
New and existing shareholders across finance, technology, enterprise services and global expansion are pooling resources to enrich AlphaPai’s industry network and support its expansion into global financial services.
Setting Standards and Co-Building an Ecosystem for Financial AI
The continued backing of industrial capital is not incidental. It is earned through years of deep, sustained work in real financial scenarios, and it now stands on the scale of what AlphaPai has delivered.
AlphaPai, an AI investment research assistant, entered the market through high-frequency touchpoints such as meetings and information processing, then moved steadily into the core of professional work: investment research, analysis and institutional knowledge. Today it serves more than 120,000 professional users across over 8,000 financial institutions and asset managers, ranking among the global leaders in its category by website traffic.
In April 2026, AlphaPai launched PaiWork, the industry’s pioneering AI investment research workstation. It brings financial data, research tools, productivity software and knowledge bases into a single working environment, moving AI from isolated Q&A sessions into a complete investment research workflow. Since launch, AI interactions and token consumption on PaiWork have grown by tens of times, and institutional adoption has climbed steadily. A growing number of users now co-create research workflows and reuse skills, fostering an emerging user-generated content ecosystem.
In June 2026, AlphaPai introduced iRaB (Investment Research Agent Benchmark) into its ecosystem, an applied benchmark that tests how AI understands, analyzes and delivers professional results on real investment research tasks. The same period saw the launch of the ORE (Open Research Ecosystem) Investment Research Partner Program, partnering with more than 40 brokerage research institutes, data service providers and other industry players across data services, professional content and industry skills.
With PaiWork, iRaB and ORE now in the market, AlphaPai has taken financial AI beyond single-point tools and into a full ecosystem of workflows, professional standards and co-creation.
“In real-world production environments, AI resembles high-end manufacturing: a systematic engineering endeavor requiring long-term accumulation,” said Luodan Li, Founder and CEO of AlphaPai. “The competitiveness of future companies lies entirely beneath the surface. It comes from the compounding effect of many incremental 5% gains, which ultimately forms a systematic advantage that is difficult to replicate.” Over the past several years, AlphaPai’s sustained investment in users, data, evaluation and model capabilities has yielded results.
Rooted in China, Facing the World
AlphaPai grew out of China’s financial institutions, forged in real investment-research workflows and tempered by years of high-competition, high-density professional environments. That depth has given AlphaPai a systematic grasp of how professional financial work gets done: how institutional processes run, how products earn adoption. These capabilities, proven in a demanding home market, are the firmest foundation for going global.
“The value of financial AI is not confined to the financial industry itself,” said Li. “It is infrastructure with a multiplier effect: a connector between capital and the real economy. Gains in financial productivity ultimately flow into better resource allocation and industrial development.”
Rooted in China, facing the world. Backed by deeper technological accumulations and stronger user-and-industry synergy, AlphaPai is bringing financial AI to the core of global finance.

The Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom awards its Freedom Prize 2026 to the courageous people of Iran who are fighting for freedom, civil rights and democracy.
POTSDAM, GERMANY – Newsaktuell – 15 September 2026 -The Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom honors the Iranian people with its Freedom Prize 2026 on 7 November 2026 at St. Paul’s Church in Frankfurt. Reza Pahlavi will accept the award in a fiduciary capacity. Bijan Djir-Sarai, foreign policy spokesperson the Free Democratic Party (FDP), will deliver the laudatory address.
Since 2006, the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom has awarded the Freedom Prize every two years in recognition of outstanding commitment to the development of a liberal civil society, thereby contributing to strengthening values and goals of freedom around the world.
Steffen Saebisch, Chairman of the Board of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, comments: “The Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom is deliberately awarding the Freedom Prize to the Iranian people rather than to an individual. We seek to honor the desire for freedom of the many hundreds of thousands of people who have risked their lives to overthrow the criminal mullah regime. We are pleased that Reza Pahlavi is accepting to receive the award in trust on behalf of the Iranian people until the day the prize can be presented to the freely elected representatives of Iran.”
The Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom has asked Reza Pahlavi to receive the award in trust on behalf of the Iranian people, as he is the best-known personality of the Iranian opposition and is committed to the return to freedom and democracy in Iran. According to his own statements, he does not advocate one form of government over another, as long as it is democratic. He repeatedly emphasizes that the future political order of Iran must be decided by the Iranian people. According to many, he is currently also the most important political figure of identification for many Iranians (probably the majority) in Iran. In addition, Reza Pahlavi is committed to an end to Iranian-fueled conflicts in the Middle East, the normalization of Iran’s relations with its neighboring countries and, in particular, reconciliation with Israel.
The award goes to all those who stand up for their rights, for their own freedom and for a free and democratic society. It is dedicated in particular to those who lost their lives in the fight against a murderous regime and to those who were or are currently persecuted and imprisoned because of their commitment to freedom and democracy.
The award honors the courage of countless people who resist in their everyday lives: women who stand up for their right to self-determination; students who demand freedom of thought and learning; journalists who, despite intimidation and threats, stand up for press freedom; workers who fight for fair conditions and dignity; families who resist paternalism and the denial of individual choices in their conduct of life. Their strength lies not in individual actions, but in the perseverance of a society that refuses to be silenced.
For decades, the theocratic regime has ruled brutally and with great contempt for basic human rights. That is why it is all the more admirable that so many people in Iran are speaking out in various ways against the regime and in support of their freedom and fundamental rights, taking to the streets to make their voices heard. These extraordinarily courageous people deserve the full support of everyone for whom freedom, self-determination and democracy are the highest ideals.
By conferring the Freedom Prize on the Iranian people, the Foundation is deliberately drawing attention to the many unnamed people whose civic courage often remains unseen, but who form the basis of any peaceful change. The Freedom Prize is an expression of respect and solidarity – and at the same time an appeal to the international community to consistently protect the rights of all Iranians and to support their demands for freedom effectively.
The Iranian people stand for the hope that an open society can also emerge where freedom is suppressed. Their commitment reminds us: freedom is indivisible – and it begins with people who have the courage to stand up.
That is why our Foundation is committed to honoring freedom-loving people in Iran. By conferring the Freedom Prize on the Iranian people, the Foundation is sending a clear message to the public: The struggle for freedom and democracy has the full support of all liberals.
