CHONGQING, China, Sept. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Gastech 2026 drew 59,468 attendees from more than 150 countries to the Bangkok International Trade Exhibition Centre. Endurance Energy fielded over 100 business inquiries from 1,000+ booth visitors, with Southeast Asia the clear centre of gravity.

A recurring theme on the floor, especially in Thailand, Indonesia and neighbouring markets: many small gas fields and biogas projects clear the geology long before they clear the economics. Much of that gas is stranded not by thin reserves, but by an off-spec composition a conventional train cannot take.

Endurance Energy presented one answer: move the complexity into the factory. Desulfurization, decarbonization, dehydration and mercury removal are integrated with the liquefaction unit into standardized skids. Shipped complete and commissioned quickly on site, they make phased small-field development viable on engineering and economic terms for the first time.

“Small-scale projects rarely fail on engineering,” said David Li, the company’s Global Business Development Group Vice president. “They fail on schedule, and on who answers when something stops.”

The same logic runs across the stand: LNG liquefaction plants, LNG/L-CNG integrated skids, box-type refueling units, mobile CNG equipment and hydrogen solutions, all built to one path: factory prefabrication, whole-station delivery, fast commissioning.

Beyond Southeast Asia, Endurance Energy has an African track record verifiable on the ground. As a core supplier to Nigeria’s Abuja CNG Hub programme, it delivers the full equipment package, from compression for CNG mother stations and refueling sub-systems to station integration, plus technical teams for installation, commissioning, O&M standards and local training.

In May, a hub station it supplied entered commercial operation, with the first batch of equipment running stably. Several Nigerian companies have since expressed a clear intent to cooperate.

The company operates 500+ overseas refueling stations across 15+ countries, demonstrating how modular design and localized service accelerate clean energy adoption.

Endurance Energy Equipment Co., Ltd., founded in 1997, is a national high-tech enterprise and one of the few manufacturers offering integrated natural gas and hydrogen processing, liquefaction and refueling equipment, with solutions spanning purification, liquefaction, storage, peak shaving, vaporization, refueling and metering.

Mid-Autumn Festival mooncake workshop with Cordis Hong Kong reflects the school’s wider commitment to teaching Chinese through history, literature and tradition

HONG KONG, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Shrewsbury International School Hong Kong (“Shrewsbury HK”) is putting culture at the centre of how it teaches Chinese, a philosophy brought to life this week through a Mid-Autumn Festival mooncake making workshop held in partnership with Cordis Hong Kong.

While the event itself, the Mooncake Masterclass, invited parents and children to make mini custard mooncakes on campus, its purpose reflected a broader ambition. Shrewsbury HK delivers a differentiated Chinese curriculum built around classical poetry and idiom stories at every level, a spiral dynasty based history programme spanning all six years of primary school, an annual study tour to the Hong Kong Palace Museum, and a dedicated Classical Chinese Appreciation course for Year 7 students, alongside three major Chinese cultural celebrations woven into the school calendar each year.

Ahead of the workshop, students had already spent a classroom unit studying classical Mid-Autumn poetry, including Su Shi’s celebrated verse “Shui Diao Ge Tou”, building their understanding of language through literature and history rather than rote memorisation alone.

“We are always looking for creative ways to connect meaningfully with our families,” said Mrs Priya Kanthan, Principal of Shrewsbury Hong Kong. “The Mooncake Masterclass is the beginning of many more such initiatives to come.”

“A mooncake is never just a mooncake: it carries a thousand years of poetry, memory and meaning,” said Jasmine Ji, Head of Chinese at Shrewsbury HK. “When our students learn Chinese through culture rather than around it, language stops being something to memorise and becomes something they belong to.”

Li Yuet Faat, Executive Chef of Ming Court, Cordis Hong Kong, who guided families through the mooncake making process, drew a parallel between the two disciplines: “In our kitchen, we do not simply teach technique, we teach the story behind every dish, just as this school teaches not simply characters, but the culture behind them.”

Mr Bernard Charnwut Chan, Chairman of the Board of Governors, said the approach reflects the school’s wider identity: “Shrewsbury Hong Kong exists to let our students hold an international outlook while never losing sight of where they stand. It is a strong example of how, together, our community continues to flourish.”

The workshop forms part of Shrewsbury HK’s strategic plan, Together We Flourish, and its ongoing commitment to giving students A Seamless Pathway to Global Excellence.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Digital travel platform Agoda has unveiled its latest Repeat Visitor Ranking, highlighting the top 10 destinations across Asia that keep travelers coming back for more. Based on bookings made during the first half of the year, Agoda reveals that Tokyo has claimed the top spot for the first time, overtaking Bangkok. Rounding out the top five are Bali—ranking third place for the first time—followed by Seoul and Osaka. Da Nang, Kuala Lumpur, Fukuoka, Taipei, and Johor Bahru complete the top 10 list.

Some destinations have a way of calling travelers back for more. The chance to discover new attractions, revisit fond favorites, or simply enjoy the familiar surroundings keeps travelers booking again and again. Agoda’s data shows that these beloved places often attract repeat visits, with some travelers returning multiple times in just the first half of the year.

Tokyo’s rise to number one reflects its unique ability to offer something new with each visit, from seasonal spectacles like cherry blossoms to hidden neighborhoods and an unmatched culinary scene. Bangkok, ranking second, continues to captivate with its unparalleled wellness experiences, world-class dining, and cultural landmarks. Bali’s climb to third place underscores the island’s magnetic appeal with its irresistible beaches, spiritual retreats, and lush landscapes that enchant travelers time and again.

This year’s ranking also reveals the rising appeal of Japan and Vietnam as increasingly popular places people love to revisit. Beyond Tokyo’s ascent to the top, Fukuoka has entered the top 10 for the first time at number eight, signaling travelers’ desire to explore beyond Japan’s traditional tourist hubs to experience Fukuoka’s renowned ramen culture and laid-back atmosphere. Meanwhile, Vietnam’s Da Nang has climbed two spots to sixth place, with its stunning beaches, proximity to UNESCO sites like Hoi An, and excellent value drawing visitors back repeatedly.

Andrew Smith, Senior Vice President, Supply at Agoda, shared, “Asia is home to so many destinations that are worth revisiting, and what we’re seeing is that travelers are building relationships with their favorite cities. The shift with Tokyo’s rise to number one and destinations like Fukuoka and Da Nang gaining ground show that travelers are finding new reasons to return, whether it’s seasonal attractions, undiscovered neighborhoods, or simply great food. At Agoda, we’re here to make those return trips easy and rewarding.”

New Bolt Mission, Bolt Pro, and Latch 5 Pro give homeowners a choice between precise, hands-free UWB entry and tap-to-unlock digital keys 

LAS VEGAS and SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ULTRALOQ, a best-selling smart lock brand under Xthings, a global leader in IoT solutions, today announced the launch and availability of its next-generation smart lock collection, built to redefine access and provide customers with a wide range of effortless entry experiences that best suit their lifestyle.

The collection includes ULTRALOQ Bolt Mission, unveiled as the industry’s first ultra-wideband (UWB) enabled smart lock, featuring precise, hands-free approach-to-unlock functionality. Joining Bolt Mission are the ULTRALOQ Bolt Pro and ULTRALOQ Latch 5 Pro which are the first multi-model line of Aliro-Certified smart locks that empowers users to leverage their phone as their key through Apple Wallet or Samsung Wallet credentials. 

The latest ULTRALOQ models arrive at a time when digital wallets and standardized access credentials are reshaping how consumers expect to access their homes and other everyday assets. For the new collection, ULTRALOQ leverages UWB to enable precise, intent-aware entry to the home and Aliro, the open mobile-access standard developed by the Connectivity Standards Alliance with support from leading mobile ecosystems including Apple, Google and Samsung. With Aliro, ULTRALOQ brings the familiar wallet-based experience consumers already use for payments and increasingly digital car keys to the front door.

All three lock models are Matter Certified and compatible with leading smart home platforms, including Apple Home, Google Home and more, allowing users to incorporate the lock into their broader smart home experience. Bolt Pro and Latch 5 Pro also integrate with Samsung SmartThings, enabling more home-wide automations triggered by lock activity, such as turning on lights or adjusting the thermostat when the door unlocks. Household members can have their own Digital Key in Samsung Wallet, providing individual access to the same lock while SmartThings helps manage access and automations across the household.  

The collection will be available online in October through The Home Depot, where customers can shop the new ULTRALOQ lineup. The new collection delivers intelligent, effortless and trusted entry across accessible price points, empowering users to choose the access features that best suit their lifestyle and needs.

ULTRALOQ Bolt Mission: The Smart Lock That Knows When You Are Coming Home

Bolt Mission (MSRP: $299.99) delivers a precise, intent-aware hands-free entry experience by combining Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) discovery, UWB ranging, radar-based presence sensing and local decision logic. The result is hands-free entry that responds to true arrival, not strictly proximity. Rather than unlocking simply if a phone is nearby, Bolt Mission analyzes precise distance and direction of approach, allowing it to distinguish an authorized user approaching from outside from normal movement inside the home.

Designed to deliver a premium hands-free experience, users can keep their phone in their pocket or bag while the Xthings Home app runs securely in the background. With Bolt Mission, there’s no app to open upon approach, no PIN to enter and no separate hub required for hands-free entry.  

To support dependable intent detection (approach vs. departure) and efficient battery life, Bolt Mission features built-in radar to keep the lock alert when it matters most and conserve power when it does not. Intent detection logic is processed locally between the authorized phone and the lock, delivering fast approach-and-unlock entry.

ULTRALOQ Bolt Pro: Premium Front-Door Deadbolt with Wallet-Based Access 

Bolt Pro (MSRP: $269.99) is the collection’s premium digital-key deadbolt, bringing Aliro-Certified tap-to-unlock access together with fingerprint, PIN, app and physical-key entry. Aliro-Certified, Bolt Pro lets users unlock their door with a simple tap of their compatible device, without ever having to open an app. Digital keys are stored in a compatible mobile wallet, giving users a familiar tap experience similar to the contactless interactions they already use every day.

Designed to support a wide range of access methods, Bolt Pro pairs digital wallet access with fingerprint, PIN, app control and physical key backup. While digital wallet access may be ideal for everyday users, fingerprint provides fast personalized entry options and PIN codes can be issued to children, guests, cleaners or other service providers in need of access. 

ULTRALOQ Latch 5 Pro: Wallet-Based Access for More Doors

Latch 5 Pro (MSRP: $249.99) brings the same tap-to-unlock digital wallet experience to doors that use a lever rather than a deadbolt, including side entrances, home offices, garage-entry doors, rentals and shared spaces. Residents or employees can use a compatible digital wallet or fingerprint for access, while visitors and other temporary users can receive PINs. Aliro and Matter Certified, Latch 5 Pro delivers the same digital key experience and smart home platform compatibility as Bolt Pro. 

Executive Quotes

“The front door is moving away from keys and apps toward digital credentials and intent-aware access,” said Raj Sundar, Senior Director of Product Management for ULTRALOQ. “Our goal with this collection is to make that transition seamless and practical for customers, whether someone wants their door to detect their arrival and unlock hands-free or wants to quickly tap the phone or watch they carry every day to authorize entry.”

Available Online via The Home Depot

The new collection of ULTRALOQ smart locks will be available for purchase online through The Home Depot beginning in October. Customers can explore each model in the collection, compare access options, and learn more about the distinct features each lock delivers to select the ULTRALOQ model that is right for them.   

The ULTRALOQ collection is available now online through ULTRALOQ as well as Amazon and will be available online via The Home Depot in October.
