LONDON, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Velo and the McLaren Mastercard Formula 1® Team are giving fans the keys to their wildest dreams with the launch of a global competition for the second half of the 2026 F1 season. Starting today, adult Velo & motorsport fans are invited to share their most creative and original fan dreams, for the opportunity to see them brought to life later in the season as fan-inspired unforgettable experiences*. 

Whether it’s spending a night sleeping amongst historic cars at the iconic McLaren Technology Centre, designing custom merchandise, or sitting down for dinner with McLaren Mastercard Formula 1® Team CEO Zak Brown – no dream is too big. This year’s competition is built entirely around turning fan imagination into reality, with original ideas to put fans front and centre. 

The competition marks the return of the Live Your Fandom campaign, where for a second year, Velo – the leading nicotine pouch brand in Europe** made for true originals – has joined forces with the McLaren Mastercard Formula 1® Team to bring more moments of originality to motorsport fans. 

To get the wheels turning, McLaren Mastercard Formula 1® Team drivers, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have teamed up for a launch film, calling on fans to think bigger, dream louder, and get their boldest ideas on the grid. Packed with cheeky nods to iconic Formula 1 moments and fan-favourite inside jokes, the film challenges fans to submit the dream experience they’ve always wanted to see brought to life. 

Throughout the season, Velo and McLaren will be bringing a selection of fans’ dream experiences to life, along with plenty of surprises in store to reward the community of dedicated fans. 

Reflecting on the Live Your Fandom campaign, Lou McEwen, Chief Marketing Officer of McLaren Racing, said: “Our fans are the lifeblood of McLaren Racing and working with partners like Velo, we are continually seeking new ways to engage and bring them closer to the team. Last season’s Live Your Fandom activation was a great example of that, and we’re excited to continue the campaign, offering our fans once-in-a-lifetime experiences with the team.” 

Malky Brown, Global Head of Partnerships & Content at BAT, commented, “We’re giving fans the chance of a lifetime. Velo is all about celebrating true originals, and this competition is about letting fans drive the story. Tell us your wildest, most creative McLaren dream on social media, and we might just bring it to life!” 

Through Live Your Fandom, Velo and McLaren are continuing to champion the fans who help make motorsport what it is — encouraging them to celebrate their passion, individuality and creativity like never before.

ABOUT VELO 

Originating in Scandinavia, Velo is now a leading global brand of nicotine pouches.

They’re designed to be tucked between your lip and gum, where they release nicotine over a short time – this can be different from brand to brand (Velo pouches release nicotine up to 30 minutes). For adult nicotine consumers, nicotine pouches can be an alternative to cigarettes or vaping and a convenient way to use nicotine when smoking and vaping aren’t appropriate. Nicotine consumers have more choices than ever, as Velo pouches also come in an assortment of flavours and nicotine strengths for different tastes and nicotine experience levels.

BERLIN, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mintos, a European multi-asset investment platform for long-term wealth building, is launching ETFs on its platform. Investors can now access over 1,000 of the most popular ETFs among European investors — with zero transaction fees, no custody charges, and a minimum investment of just €1. 

“European investors put a record €330 billion into ETFs in 2025. Vanguard projects that number will only grow, with 100 million Europeans expected to be ETF investors by 2035, up from 30 million today. ETFs are where the majority of European investors begin their investing journey: diversified, transparent, and now, on Mintos, completely free to buy or sell. We wanted to remove every barrier between an investor and their first ETF.” said Martins Sulte, CEO and Co-Founder of Mintos. 

No transaction fees and a €1 entry point 

Mintos charges zero transaction fees on all ETF buy and sell orders, and there are no custody fees for holding ETF investments. The minimum investment is €1, meaning investors can put money to work as soon as they have it, without needing to accumulate a sum large enough for fees to feel proportionate. 

The fee structure matters most for smaller, recurring contributions. On many platforms, a €1 execution fee on a €20 investment represents a 5% cost before the market has moved at all. On Mintos, the full amount invested goes into the ETF. 

Over 1,000 UCITS-compliant funds from globally recognised providers  

The Mintos ETF catalogue, provided in partnership with Upvest, is built around funds that are both widely recognised and compliant with the EU’s UCITS framework — the regulatory standard designed to protect retail investors through strict diversification and transparency requirements. All 1,000+ funds are among the most popular with European investors, sourced from providers with established international track records, including iShares, VanEck, Vanguard and other notable issuers. 

The selection is broad enough to build any portfolio, and focused enough to invest without the research burden of an unrestricted catalogue. 

Self-directed and automated investing, or a combination of both 

Mintos supports two approaches: investors can select individual ETFs themselves, free to hold, buy and sell, starting from €1. Alternatively, Mintos Core ETFs offers a pre-built, automatically rebalanced portfolio of equity and fixed-income ETFs with zero management and custody fees, starting at €50. Both options can run in parallel: investors can begin with the automated route and add self-selected funds over time without switching platforms. 

A forthcoming Investment Plans feature will add a further layer of automation, allowing investors to set a recurring contribution schedule – weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or quarterly – and top up their portfolio without manual intervention. 

*ETFGI’s December 2025 European ETFs and ETPs Industry Landscape Insights, January 2026  

The value of investments can go down as well as up. You may get back less than you invest. A Key Information Document (KID) is available for each ETF on the Mintos platform and should be read before investing. This press release is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

Wind Turbines, Energy Storage Systems and Battery Cells All Achieve Tier 1 Recognition, Highlighting the company’s Integrated Future Energy System Capabilities 

SHANGHAI, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Envision, a global leader in green technology, has been named to the 2026 S&P Global Tier 1 Cleantech Companies List for the second consecutive year, making it one of the few companies globally with Tier 1 recognition across three core technology pillars of the Future Energy System. Envision Energy retained its Tier 1 status as both a Wind Turbine Supplier and an Energy Storage System Supplier, while Envision AESC was newly recognized as a Tier 1 Battery Cell Supplier. 

The S&P Global Tier 1 Cleantech Companies assessment is one of the industry’s leading benchmarks for clean energy suppliers. Drawing on comprehensive data across the global energy value chain, it evaluates companies based on six key dimensions, including market leadership, cumulative deployments, market share, manufacturing capability, financial performance and sustainability. The introduction of the Battery Cell category in 2026 reflects the continued evolution of the clean energy industry. Envision’s recognition across the three categories demonstrates the strength of its integrated portfolio, spanning renewable generation, energy storage systems and advanced battery technologies. 

Envision continues to integrate renewable energy, storage, advanced batteries and AI to build the next generation of energy infrastructure. The company has surpassed 100 GW of cumulative wind installations worldwide and continues to expand internationally. In Australia, the first AI-powered wind turbine prototype at the Nullagine Wind Farm has successfully achieved grid connection, while in North America, Envision has partnered with Cape Breton China Corp to develop a 300 MW wind project with co-located battery storage in Nova Scotia. 

The company’s energy storage business continues to gain strong momentum globally, with major new projects including Hartmoor in the UK and Elements Green and Juniz in Germany. By the end of 2025, Envision has cumulative 50 GWh BESS  deployed, and remained a BloombergNEF Tier 1 Battery Energy Storage Manufacturer for multiple consecutive quarters. Meanwhile, Envision AESC has also expanded its network across Asia, Europe and North America, supplying high-performance battery cells for electric vehicles and energy storage applications. The new Tier 1 Battery Cell designation further reinforces its position as a trusted global battery supplier. 

The list underscores Envision’s leadership in building the Future Energy System. As AI reshapes the global economy, Envision believes the future will be powered by infinite, intelligent and inexpensive energy. Together with partners worldwide, the company will continue accelerating the technologies and infrastructure that make this future possible.

Driving Digital Transformation in Blood Management for Plasma Collection Centers, Hospitals, and Blood Bank Centers 

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Haier Biomedical (SHA: 688139) participated at the ISBT Congress 2026 in Kuala Lumpur, presenting its blood product portfolio and integrated workflow solutions to the global transfusion market. This participation highlights the company’s leadership in delivering intelligent blood safety and smart management solutions powered by IoT technology. 

At the congress, Haier Biomedical further accelerated its transformation from an equipment provider to a comprehensive full-process solution provider, unveiling an integrated blood management solution covering the entire workflow—from blood collection and component processing to low-temperature storage, intelligent transportation, and clinical application. 

The company spotlighted core equipment, including the EU MDR-certified Plasma Apheresis System, Automatic Blood Component Separator, Plasma Contact Shock Freezer, and Automated Blood Management Refrigerator, along with integrated solutions tailored for plasma collection stations, hospitals, and blood banks, providing strong support for the high-quality development of the regional plasma industry. 

Automation Solution Specialist Daniele Pericolini presented the deployment of Haier Biomedical’s R-Series Automated Blood Management Refrigerator at the New Arcispedale Sant’Anna Hospital in Ferrara, Italy. The hospital moved from paper records and manual tracking to RFID-enabled HXC-Series Automated Blood Management Refrigerators. The digital upgrade allows instant blood bag location, bedside requests, and electronic cross-matching, reducing retrieval times to under one minute. With secure drawers, ozone sterilization, automatic inventory, and alarms, the system delivers full traceability, zero errors, reduced waste, and a lighter workload for staff. Haier Biomedical is the only company offering RFID tags with customized integration. 

Blood Chain Product Manager Zhou Weidong presented two further deployments: Brazil’s HemoRio Blood Bank and the Philippines’ Asia Pacific Medical Center, where the smart refrigerator enabled full digital tracking from day one without extra software. 

Beyond the seminar, Haier Biomedical exhibited a complete product ecosystem covering the blood management value chain, along with comprehensive service capabilities across multiple scenarios in the blood industry. Notably, its digital blood management solution, built on an AI, automation, and IoT architecture, enables real-time monitoring and full traceability through the entire process, from collection and processing to storage and clinical application. This further enriches the product application ecosystem across all segments of the transfusion industry and supports the transition from traditional centralized blood management toward distributed, digitally connected workflows. 

As the global blood management industry shifts toward intelligent, traceable, and distributed systems, Haier Biomedical is strengthening its leadership in life sciences and digital health. With its U-Blood lot solutions already operational across dozens of countries and regions, including Germany, Italy, Thailand, the Philippines, Morocco, Brazil, Zambia, and Kenya, Haier Biomedical is driving sustainable, high-quality development in the transfusion sector — advancing a future where smart blood management contributes to better health and greater well-being for humanity.

La Serie BKT 2026/2027 si appresta a prendere il via. Domani, presso il Teatro dei Filarmonici di Ascoli Piceno, verranno ufficializzati i calendari del prossimo campionato cadetto, che vedrà la Toscana protagonista con il numero più alto di rappresentanti: quattro club, ovvero Pisa, Empoli, Carrarese e Arezzo.

Il Pisa si presenta al via per la 39ª volta, risultando la formazione toscana con maggiore esperienza nella categoria. Il gruppo guidato da Paolo Bianco riparte da un dato statistico rilevante della scorsa stagione, durante la quale il 54% dei gol è scaturito da sviluppi di calci piazzati, confermando l’importanza delle palle inattive nell’economia del gioco nerazzurro.

L’Empoli affronta la sua 24ª partecipazione al campionato, puntando sulla continuità dopo l’ultima annata. La squadra ha mostrato una marcata attitudine al gioco aereo, realizzando 16 gol di testa nella precedente regular season, un fondamentale che ha caratterizzato la manovra offensiva azzurra nel corso dell’ultimo torneo.

La Carrarese giunge alla terza stagione consecutiva in Serie B, un traguardo che segna una fase di stabilità per il club. Il dato relativo ai 913 cross effettuati nella passata stagione delinea un approccio tattico orientato al costante utilizzo delle corsie laterali, volto a mantenere una pressione offensiva continua.

Chiude il quadro toscano l’Arezzo, che torna nel campionato cadetto dopo 19 anni, raggiungendo quota 17 partecipazioni totali. Per la società amaranto si tratta di un ritorno in una categoria che mancava dal 2007. Il primo impegno stagionale sarà utile per verificare la condizione atletica e tattica, considerando che l’ultimo successo al debutto in Serie B risale al 2004.

PESCAGLIA – Un terribile e tragico incidente sul lavoro ha insanguinato il tardo pomeriggio di ieri (20 luglio) lungo la strada provinciale 1, nella frazione di Monsagrati nel comune di Pescaglia. L’allarme alla centrale operativa dei soccorsi è scattato intorno alle 19 per un tragico evento che ha visto coinvolto un uomo di 65 anni, la cui identità non è stata resa nota ma che si ritiene fosse residente della zona.

Secondo una prima ricostruzione, il 65nne si trovava alla guida di un trattore quando, per cause ancora in corso di accertamento, è stato violentemente colpito da una pesante trave che gli si è incastrata nell’addome, provocandogli lesioni gravissime. La macchina dei soccorsi si è attivata immediatamente: sul posto si sono precipitate l’ambulanza infermieristica giunta da Lucca, le pattuglie dei carabinieri e le squadre dei vigili del fuoco, fondamentali per liberare l’uomo dalla trave rimasta incastrata. Vista la drammaticità delle sue condizioni, è stato fatto levare in volo anche l’elisoccorso Pegaso 1.

I sanitari hanno avviato manovre disperate di rianimazione per tentare di strappare il 65enne alla morte. Purtroppo ogni sforzo dei medici si è rivelato vano: i traumi riportati nell’impatto con la trave erano troppo gravi e l’uomo è deceduto sul posto prima di poter essere trasferito in ospedale.

I rilievi sono affidati ai carabinieri per chiarire con esattezza l’esatta dinamica del drammatico infortunio.

The next-generation Vista pairs Essentials L2, the most advanced color analysis software in the category, with far more onboard computing, all without changing existing methods or accessories 

RESTON, Va., July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HunterLab, the world’s true measure of color, today announced Vista® L2, the next generation of its transmission color and haze spectrophotometer for transparent and translucent liquids and solids. Vista L2 extends the spectral range to 710 nm, adds Essentials L2, the most advanced color analysis software in the industry, and expands processing power and storage. The result is more capability for quality control teams in beverages, edible oils, liquid chemicals, pharmaceuticals, translucent plastic preforms, and environmental testing. 

The wider range sharpens the separation of true color, measured as absorbance, from haze, measured as light scattering. That clarity helps manufacturers catch early-stage instability in liquid products and judge color stability with more confidence. The 710 nm reach also enables chlorophyll measurement at 630, 670, and 710 nm, aligned to AOCS Cc 13d-55, a method used to track oxidation and protect shelf life in edible oils. 

“Quality teams are being asked to measure more, on tighter timelines, without adding instruments or headcount,” said Bob Weaver, President at HunterLab. “Vista L2 was built for that reality. It widens what a single instrument can measure while running the same methods and accessories our customers already use, so the upgrade adds capability without disruption.” 

Vista L2 builds on the established Vista platform, retaining its transmission geometry, full-spectrum LED illumination, and touchscreen interface. New and enhanced features include 32 GB of onboard storage, enough for millions of measurements, HDMI output for viewing results on external displays, and a built-in wavelength verification standard that keeps performance consistent. Essentials L2 updates by flash drive or direct internet connection. 

Vista L2 is the only transmission instrument to apply the Beer-Lambert Law with the precision needed to report absolute color from standard cells and vials. It reports edible oils automatically at 5.25 inch or 1 inch pathlengths and reads APHA color in smaller cells than competing systems require, reducing reliance on costly specialty cells. Interchangeable holders and base plates, in Multi-Functional, Precision, and Self-Centering options, position liquids, vials, cuvettes, translucent plastic preforms, films, and flow-through samples with magnetic attachments and locating pins for repeatable results. 

Vista L2 is available now. Additional information and demonstration requests are available at https://www.hunterlab.com/en/contact/. 

About HunterLab 

Founded in 1952, HunterLab is a global leader in color and appearance measurement solutions for industries including food and beverage, plastics, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. With instruments trusted in more than 75 countries, HunterLab continues to advance the science of color through innovation, precision, and customer partnership.

SOVICILLE – Un pomeriggio di grande mobilitazione sul fronte dell’antincendio boschivo, partito con la massima allerta nel senese e conclusosi con il contenimento del rogo, mentre in altre province – compresa quella di Lucca – sono proseguite le operazioni di bonifica e messa in sicurezza del territorio.

L’allarme principale è scattato intorno alle 14 nella zona di Bagnaia, nel comune di Sovicille, in provincia di Siena. Le fiamme, alimentate e sospinte dal vento, si sono propagate rapidamente all’interno di un fitto bosco di querce caratterizzato da un denso sottobosco di ginepro. Data la potenziale pericolosità del fronte, la sala operativa provinciale ha disposto l’invio immediato di oltre dieci squadre di volontari dell’antincendio boschivo, supportate dall’alto da due elicotteri della flotta regionale e coordinate da un direttore delle operazioni. A rendere più complesse le prime fasi dell’intervento è stata la presenza nell’area di alcune linee elettriche, per le quali è stata valutata la disattivazione temporanea così da garantire l’incolumità del personale a terra. Fortunatamente, nessuna abitazione è rimasta minacciata dal fuoco.

Dopo ore di faticoso lavoro, il dispiegamento coordinato tra le squadre a terra e i continui sganci d’acqua degli elicotteri ha dato i suoi frutti, portando allo spegnimento del rogo. I soccorritori hanno avviato subito le operazioni di bonifica realizzando, tramite attrezzature manuali, delle staccate larghe circa un metro: una fascia di sicurezza necessaria per separare la superficie bruciata dalla vegetazione rimasta intatta, evitando così l’insorgere di pericolosi nuovi focolai. Per tutta la serata sono stati programmati i cambi del personale in modo da assicurare una costante sorveglianza notturna dell’area.

La giornata sul fronte degli incendi ha registrato criticità anche nel resto della Toscana, con nuovi principi di incendio boschivo in Casentino e nel Pisano, che al momento non destano comunque preoccupazione. In provincia di Lucca, invece, l’attenzione è rimasta alta in Versilia: per tutta la mattinata sono proseguite le complesse operazioni di messa in sicurezza sul costone della montagna di Malbacco, nel comune di Seravezza. Qui, grazie al lavoro aereo garantito da due elicotteri regionali, è stata bonificata la zona impervia dove il fuoco ha mandato in fumo circa due ettari di vegetazione rada.

New Video Case Study Showcases How Advanced Drone Technology is Making Mountaineering Safer 

SHENZHEN, China, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today released new long surveying footage of the Khumbu Icefall on Mount Everest (Mount Qomolangma). Presented as a video case study, Nepalese drone company Airlift Technology showcases their aerial surveying operations at altitudes above 6,000 meters and temperatures below -20°C. The workflow included three components: aerial data collection with a DJI Matrice 4E, 3D model generation with DJI Terra, and day-by-day comparative analysis. With these high-precision 3D models, icefall doctors knew the locations of every crevasse, surface displacement, and serac between Base Camp and Camp 1 – before ever stepping onto the ice. 

“With DJI drone technology, we can create a 3D model of the Khumbu Icefall that helps the Sherpas and icefall doctors locate crevasses and plan the route — without climbing the icefall first,” said Raj Bikram Maharjan, CEO of Airlift Technology. “To our knowledge, this is the first deployment of its kind in Nepal, and potentially one of the first real-world operational uses globally at this scale in a high-altitude expedition environment.” 

Glacial Challenges of Traditional Surveying 

Ahead of each climbing season, a team of Sherpas called “Icefall Doctors” surveys the terrain by foot, sets the ladders, fixes the ropes, and establishes the route that every subsequent climber will follow. To do this, they must cross the Khumbu Icefall Base Camp (5,364 m) and Camp 1 (6,500 m), which is considered the most dangerous section of the Everest climb. 

Mapping the Dangerous Khumbu Icefall with DJI Matrice 4E 

Flying a pre–planned flight path at altitudes above 6,000 meters, the Matrice 4E surveyed over 3 square kilometers of the Khumbu Icefall in just 3.5 hours. The compact enterprise drone’s five-directional imaging system captured high-resolution oblique imagery of the icefall’s complex vertical structures in a single flight. No one needed to risk their lives to enter the survey area. 

Reconstructing and Monitoring Glacial Movements with DJI Terra 

The collected data was processed in DJI Terra to reconstruct the Khumbu Icefall into a high-precision 3D model with centimeter-level accuracy using next-generation reconstruction technologies including 3D Gaussian Splatting. These 3D models were then compared from different periods, informing icefall doctors on how specific sections of ice may have moved between surveys, where instability was increasing, and which corridors had remained stable enough to install ladders and ropes. 

Faster Data, Safer Routes, and a Record of a Changing IcefallA workflow that previously required weeks of on-foot surveying under hazardous conditions could now be completed in a single day. Moreover, icefall doctors no longer need to enter the icefall blind.  This proved critical during the 2026 climbing season. Overnight, a rare, large-scale serac field formed across the icefall, sealing every route to the summit. Hundreds of climbers were stranded at Base Camp. Fortunately, icefall doctors were able to rebuild the blocked routes and resume operations quickly with DJI’s advanced drone technology. 

In addition to mountaineering safety, the ability to rapidly and repeatedly model icefalls also provides scientists and environmental researchers with high-accuracy, reproducible data for tracking long-term change. Building this digital archive will prove to be crucial as climate change accelerates glacier thinning.

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 July 2026 – Thailand has achieved a significant milestone in industrial greenhouse gas mitigation, reducing more than 3.8 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent since 2019 through the implementation of clinker substitution under the Industrial Process and Product Use (IPPU) sector. This progress has been delivered ahead of the Thailand NDC Roadmap timeline, demonstrating the country’s capacity to translate climate policy into measurable outcomes. Central to this transition is the rapid scale-up of “hydraulic cement,” now serving as the primary structural cement nationwide and a key enabler of low-carbon construction. 

The achievement was formally recognized at the “TCMA at 20: The Next Chapter to Net Zero” event, where H.E. Mr. Varawut Silpa-archa, Minister of Industry, presided over an award ceremony honoring 34 implementing partners, supported by six ministries, for their collective contribution in driving policy into practice. 

H.E. Mr. Varawut stated that the success of clinker substitution reflects the strength of multi-stakeholder collaboration across government, industry, academia, and professional bodies, enabling Thailand to accelerate greenhouse gas reduction while advancing green industry transformation and competitiveness. 

“Greenhouse gas reduction becomes possible when all sectors work together; from policy and technology to real-world implementation. The success of clinker substitution is a tangible example of collaboration delivering real impact, and marks an important step toward Thailand’s Net Zero 2050 ambition.” H.E. Mr. Varawut said. 

Mr. Surachai Nimla-or, Chairman of Thai Cement Manufacturers Association (TCMA), highlighted that the results were made possible through close coordination across sectors, driving national policy into implementation through R&D, standards development, technological advancement, and market adoption mechanisms. 

“The reduction of over 3.8 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent reflects the collective effort of all sectors in operationalizing national measures. The cement industry remains committed to advancing the transition toward a low-carbon economy.” Mr. Surachai said. 

A key driver behind this success is the development and widespread adoption of hydraulic cement (low-carbon cement), which reduces the clinker content – the most carbon-intensive component in cement production – while maintaining performance and structural integrity in accordance with Thai Industrial Standard TIS 2594. Today, hydraulic cement is extensively used across the country in infrastructure projects, public buildings, industrial facilities, and residential construction, marking a systemic shift from alternative material to mainstream low-carbon construction solution. 

Performance data underscores the pace of progress. In 2021, clinker substitution delivered over 300,000 tonnes of CO₂ reduction, achieving results nine years ahead of the NDC schedule. Between 2022–2023, an additional over 1 million tonnes of CO₂ reductions were realized. Cumulatively, from 2019 to present, emissions reductions have exceeded 3.8 million tonnes CO₂ equivalent. 

This progress has been enabled by an integrated effort among 34 implementing partners, with policy and institutional support from six ministries, covering policy formulation, standards development, market promotion, and enabling mechanisms; underscoring the role of public–private partnership (PPP) in driving systemic transition. 

Mr. Surachai further noted that the clinker substitution initiative represents a scalable model of translating national climate ambition into implementation, with potential for replication across other industrial sectors and expansion into regional collaboration frameworks. 

“Hydraulic cement today is not only a low-carbon material; it is part of Thailand’s broader transition toward sustainable growth. It demonstrates that with strong collaboration, emissions reduction is not only possible, but achievable at scale.” Mr. Surachai said. 

The success of clinker substitution reinforces Thailand’s leadership in industry-led climate action, highlighting how coordinated public–private efforts can deliver tangible emissions reductions while strengthening industrial resilience. It marks a critical step toward achieving Net Zero 2050, and offers a replicable model for industrial decarbonization at both national and regional levels.

YIWU, China, 20 luglio 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In un’azienda agricola di Lodi, le distese di moduli AIKO ABC producono oggi energia pulita grazie a un impianto fotovoltaico a terra da 1 MW, inserito in un contesto circondato da campi coltivati e alberi. Realizzato per l’Azienda Agricola La Torre di Rocca Marco, il progetto è stato concepito per valorizzare un terreno disponibile, trasformandolo in un asset energetico affidabile, in grado di garantire all’azienda agricola un flusso di entrate stabile e duraturo nel tempo. 

Per Marco Rocca, titolare dell’azienda agricola, la scelta della giusta soluzione fotovoltaica ha rappresentato «una decisione importante». 

«Volevamo una soluzione in grado di garantire prestazioni affidabili nel lungo periodo», ha dichiarato Rocca. «Dopo che Sara Jaciara Azevedo, titolare della società di consulenza Jsquare, ci ha consigliato i moduli AIKO illustrandoci i loro vantaggi tecnici, abbiamo individuato un prodotto che ci ha trasmesso fin da subito grande fiducia, sia per la qualità costruttiva sia per la solidità che è in grado di offrire. Si tratta di un investimento che ci permette di guardare al futuro con maggiore serenità.» 

Nei progetti fotovoltaici commerciali e industriali, l’efficienza dei moduli incide direttamente sulla potenza installata, sull’utilizzo della superficie disponibile, sulla progettazione dell’impianto e sui rendimenti nel lungo periodo. Presso l’azienda agricola di Lodi, i moduli AIKO N-Type ABC ad alta efficienza hanno offerto vantaggi misurabili rispetto a una soluzione convenzionale basata sulla tecnologia TOPCon: 

«La loro elevata efficienza è stata un fattore determinante nella nostra scelta. Inoltre, siamo rimasti colpiti dalla capacità dei moduli di mantenere ottime prestazioni anche in condizioni non ottimali», ha aggiunto Rocca. 

Oltre a garantire una maggiore produzione energetica, i moduli AIKO ABC sono progettati per rispondere alle esigenze concrete degli ambienti agricoli. Negli impianti fotovoltaici a terra realizzati in contesti rurali, gli alberi circostanti possono generare fenomeni di ombreggiamento parziale, mentre polvere, residui organici e altre impurità possono depositarsi sulla superficie dei moduli, influenzandone la produzione di energia. 

Grazie alla tecnologia AIKO per l’ottimizzazione delle prestazioni in condizioni di ombreggiamento parziale, i moduli contribuiscono a ridurre le perdite di potenza associate alle zone d’ombra e a garantire una produzione più stabile anche quando le condizioni del sito non sono ottimali. Secondo il team che ha seguito il progetto, i moduli hanno mantenuto prestazioni costanti nell’ambiente agricolo, contribuendo a ridurre nel tempo la frequenza degli interventi di pulizia e manutenzione. 

La sicurezza rappresenta un ulteriore elemento fondamentale per i clienti del settore agricolo e C&I. In ambienti esterni complessi, i moduli tradizionali possono essere maggiormente esposti al rischio di formazione di hotspot in presenza di ombreggiamenti parziali e temperature elevate, con possibili ripercussioni sulle prestazioni e sulla sicurezza dell’impianto. I moduli AIKO ABC mantengono la temperatura degli hotspot al di sotto dei 100 °C, eliminando i rischi di incendio legati a questi fenomeni e offrendo ai clienti un sistema fotovoltaico più sicuro e affidabile per un funzionamento efficiente nel lungo periodo. 

Il progetto di Lodi dimostra come i moduli AIKO ABC siano in grado di creare valore concreto per i clienti del settore agricolo e C&I, combinando elevata densità di potenza, prestazioni stabili in condizioni operative reali, minori esigenze di manutenzione e vantaggi economici nel lungo periodo. 

Dalle aziende agricole italiane ai progetti C&I in tutta Europa, AIKO continua ad aiutare i clienti a trasformare superfici disponibili e aree di progetto in asset energetici puliti, produttivi, affidabili e orientati al futuro. 

AIKO AIKO è leader di settore nel campo della tecnologia fotovoltaica, specializzata nella ricerca, sviluppo e messa a punto di prodotti per la generazione di energia solare e soluzioni integrate di stoccaggio e ricarica fotovoltaica. AIKO offre ai propri clienti celle solari, moduli ABC (All Back Contact) e soluzioni studiate ad hoc per scenari specifici. Guidata dalla mission di “Promuovere la trasformazione verso un futuro carbon free”, AIKO continua a perseguire innovazione estrema e tecnologia all’avanguardia.
