Kellogg Company to Achieve Over 50% Renewable Electricity Globally by the End of 2022

BATTLE CREEK, Mich., March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Kellogg announced today that the company will achieve over 50% renewable energy to address the electricity needs of its owned manufacturing globally by the end of 2022. The company signed a long-term wind energy virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) in North America with Enel Green Power for approximately 360 gigawatt hours (GWh) of wind electricity annually, which is equal to 50% of…

Kellogg’s VPPA portion of the renewable energy generated by the wind farm is equivalent to the amount of electricity it takes to power more than 43,000 homes each year.¹

This VPPA progresses Kellogg towards its global Better Days commitments to reduce Scope 1 & 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 65% and to achieve 100% renewable electricity by 2050. Kellogg announced the milestone to investors at the Consumer Analyst Group of New York (CAGNY) conference, underpinning the company’s commitment to address corporate responsibility. Kellogg measures greenhouse gas emissions and renewable electricity in accordance with the GHG Protocol.

«Kellogg has been working to reduce its carbon footprint across our value chain for more than a decade,» said Amy Senter, Chief Sustainability Officer, Kellogg Company. «Our latest VPPA further demonstrates to investors, stakeholders and our consumers that we are taking action to address climate change.»

Kellogg has several renewable energy projects already in place around the world.

Kellogg’s facilities across Western Europe have achieved 100% renewable electricity to address its operations through the purchase of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs).
Kellogg Australia operations also achieved 100% renewable electricity through a long-term Power Purchase Agreement.
Kellogg’s LEED® certified Pringles plant in Enstek, Malaysia and its cereal plant in Taloja, India utilize renewable electricity directly from on-site solar panels.
In North America, Kellogg has purchased Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) for multiple facilities and offices in several states.
The company’s Kashi office in Solana Beach, California utilizes on-site solar panels for portions of its electricity use.

With the support of Kellogg’s VPPA, Enel has started construction of Azure Sky wind in north central Texas, its first wind + storage project globally, that combines a 350 MW wind facility paired with approximately 120 MW of battery storage – one of the largest battery storage facilities in the world. The Azure Sky wind farm will add clean energy resources to the community’s local grid and is expected to be operational in 2022.

Kellogg’s portion of renewable electricity generated by the wind farm is estimated to avoid 250,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions each year, equivalent to the carbon reduction of removing approximately 55,000 passenger vehicles off of the road annually.² Kellogg was advised on the VPPA agreement by Schneider Electric Energy & Sustainability Services, who assisted the company in its project selection and negotiations.

«As our first project to pair wind and storage, and our largest hybrid plant globally, Azure demonstrates Enel’s continued commitment to leading the energy transition towards a 100% renewable powered electric grid,» said Salvatore Bernabei, CEO of Enel Green Power. «This transition is supported and accelerated by customers, like Kellogg Company, who are placing sustainability at the core of their business.»

As the demand for sustainable investing continues to grow, investors more than ever want to know that companies are actively addressing (ESG) issues. S&P Global recently ranked Kellogg’s sustainability performance within the top 15% of the food industry, making Kellogg among the highest performing sustainable companies in the world.

Windward Selected by CARICOM IMPACS to Enhance Maritime Security in the Caribbean

CARICOM IMPACS will use Windward’s Predictive Intelligence platform to identify illicit maritime trade in the region

LONDON, March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Windward, the Predictive Intelligence company applying AI to transform global maritime trade, announced today that it has partnered with The Caribbean Community Implementation Agency for Crime and Security (CARICOM IMPACS), an organization of fifteen Member States and five Associate Members in the Caribbean as well as CARICOM’s Regional Security System (RSS), a treaty organization comprising of Barbados and other countries in the Eastern Caribbean. Windward’s AI-powered maritime intelligence platform will empower CARICOM IMPACS and RSS to support CARICOM Member States in their fight against drug trafficking and illegal activities in the Caribbean’s exclusive economic zones.

As the entryway to the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea is a main stop-over in the trade route from South to North America and illicit activities such as drug trafficking and other types of smuggling are becoming increasingly commonplace, especially in light of recent sanctions placed on Venezuela. Despite a decrease in general maritime activity in the region during the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an increase in illicit maritime activities in the Caribbean in recent months. Windward’s platform will support CARICOM Countries, through CARICOM IMPACS and RSS, in their fight against illicit activities by providing a real-time view of the maritime ecosystem and offering AI-powered risk assessments of vessels, companies, shipowners, and all other stakeholders in the maritime domain.

«Windward’s solution is key in our fight against illegal activities,» said Lieutenant Colonel Michael Jones, Executive Director (Ag) of CARICOM. «As illegal shipping methods are becoming more advanced, we turned to Windward’s industry-leading Maritime AI solution to assist in detecting these activities and flagging vessels that are suspicious, enabling us to assist CARICOM Member States to crack down on illicit trade, minimize and/or prevent illegal fishing, and surveil the maritime domain, beyond AIS monitoring.»

Windward’s Maritime AI is powered by hundreds of behavioral analytics models and over 10 billion data points, giving authorities the power to make smarter decisions, faster. Relying on thousands of case studies and a vast array of parameters including vessel routes, Dark Activities, and unusual changes in course, Windward’s platform analyzes existing behaviors to predict in real-time which entities are likely to be involved in illicit activities. Windward’s solution is the new global standard in maritime control, enabling government bodies to protect their borders, national interests, and citizens. The partnership with CARICOM IMPACS and RSS comes on the heels of Windward’s announcements of a partnership with the EU’s Maritime Analysis and Operations Centre-Narcotics (MAOC-(N)) in October 2020 and the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, Frontex in January 2021.

«We are thrilled that CARICOM has chosen Windward to help protect its territorial waters throughout the Caribbean,» said Ami Daniel, CEO and Co-Founder of Windward. «The Caribbean Sea is a major point in the trade route of illegal substances leaving South America and of sanctioned oil leaving Venezuela. Using Windward’s Maritime AI technology and real-time insights, CARICOM is strengthening its defenses against these activities and enhancing the transparency needed into the global maritime domain to protect its borders.»

About Windward

Windward is the leading Predictive Intelligence company fusing AI and big data to digitalize the global maritime industry, enabling organizations to achieve business and operational readiness. Windward’s AI-powered solution allows stakeholders including banks, commodity traders, insurers, and major energy and shipping companies to make real time, predictive intelligence-driven decisions, providing a 360° view of the maritime ecosystem and its broader impact on safety, security, finance, and business.

Windward seleccionado por CARICOM IMPACS para mejorar la seguridad marítima en el Caribe

CARICOM IMPACS utilizará la plataforma de inteligencia predictiva de Windward para identificar el comercio marítimo ilícito en la region

LONDRES, 3 de marzo de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Windward, la compañía de inteligencia predictiva que aplica la IA (Inteligencia Artificial) para transformar el comercio marítimo global, anunció hoy que se ha asociado con la Agencia de Implementación de la Comunidad del Caribe para el Crimen y la Seguridad (CARICOM IMPACS), una organización de quince estados miembros y cinco miembros asociados en el Caribe, así como con el Sistema de Seguridad Regional (RSS) de la CARICOM, una organización de tratados compuesta por Barbados y otros países del Caribe Oriental. La plataforma de inteligencia marítima impulsada por IA de Windward potenciará a la CARICOM IMPACS y al RSS para apoyar a los estados miembros de la CARICOM en su lucha contra el tráfico de drogas y otras actividades ilegales en las zonas económicas exclusivas del Caribe.

Como puerta de entrada al Golfo de México, el mar Caribe es una de las principales paradas en la ruta comercial de América del Sur a América del Norte, donde las actividades ilícitas como el tráfico de drogas y otros tipos de contrabando se están volviendo cada vez más comunes, especialmente a la luz de las recientes sanciones impuestas a Venezuela. A pesar de la disminución de la actividad marítima general en la región durante la pandemia de la COVID-19, en los últimos meses han aumentado las actividades marítimas ilícitas en el Caribe. La plataforma de Windward brindará apoyo a los países de la CARICOM IMPACS, a través de la CARICOM IMPACS y el RSS, en su lucha contra las actividades ilícitas proporcionando una visión en tiempo real del ecosistema marítimo y ofreciendo evaluaciones de riesgos basadas en IA sobre buques, empresas navieras y todas las demás partes interesadas en el ámbito marítimo.

«La solución de Windward es clave en nuestra lucha contra las actividades ilegales», afirmó el teniente coronel Michael Jones, director ejecutivo (Ag) de CARICOM IMPACS. «A medida que los métodos de transporte ilegal se están volviendo más avanzados, recurrimos a la solución de IA marítima líder en la industria de Windward para ayudar a detectar estas actividades y marcar buques sospechosos. Esto nos permite ayudar a los estados miembros de la CARICOM IMPACS a tomar medidas enérgicas contra el comercio ilícito, minimizar o prevenir la pesca ilegal, y vigilar el dominio marítimo, más allá del control del AIS».

La IA marítima de Windward está basada en cientos de modelos de análisis conductuales y más de 10.000 millones de puntos de datos, lo que les da a las autoridades el poder de tomar decisiones más inteligentes con mayor rapidez. Basándose en miles de estudios de casos y una amplia gama de parámetros que incluyen rutas de embarcaciones, actividades oscuras y cambios inusuales en la trayectoria, la plataforma de Windward analiza los comportamientos existentes para predecir en tiempo real cuáles entidades pueden estar implicadas en actividades ilícitas. La solución de Windward es el nuevo estándar global en control marítimo, que permite a los organismos gubernamentales proteger sus fronteras, intereses nacionales y ciudadanos. La asociación con la CARICOM IMPACS y el RSS llega inmediatamente después de los anuncios de Windward de una asociación con el Centro de Análisis y Operaciones Marítimas de la Unión Europea – Narcóticos (MAOC-(N)) en octubre de 2020 y la Agencia Europea de Fronteras y Guardacostas, Frontex en enero de 2021.

«Estamos encantados de que CARICOM IMPACS haya elegido a Windward para ayudar a proteger sus aguas territoriales en todo el Caribe», afirmó Ami Daniel, director ejecutivo y cofundador de Windward. «El mar Caribe es un punto importante en la ruta comercial de sustancias ilegales que salen de Sudamérica y de petróleo sancionado que parte de Venezuela. Utilizando la tecnología de IA marítima de Windward y los conocimientos en tiempo real, la CARICOM IMPACS fortalece sus defensas contra estas actividades al tiempo que mejora la transparencia necesaria en el dominio marítimo global para proteger sus fronteras».

Acerca de Windward

Windward es la empresa líder de Inteligencia Predictiva que utiliza la inteligencia artificial y big data para digitalizar la industria marítima global, lo que permite a las organizaciones lograr una preparación comercial y operativa. La solución impulsada por IA de Windward permite a las partes interesadas, incluyendo bancos, comerciantes de materias primas, aseguradoras y grandes empresas de energía y transporte, tomar decisiones en tiempo real basadas en inteligencia predictiva, proporcionando una visión de 360° del ecosistema marítimo y su impacto más amplio en cuestiones de seguridad, protección, finanzas y negocios.

La Agencia de Implementación de la Comunidad del Caribe (CARICOM) para el Crimen y la Seguridad (IMPACS) se estableció en la 27ª Reunión de la Conferencia de Jefes de Gobierno en julio de 2006, en Bird Rock, San Cristóbal y Nieves, como el brazo de implementación de una nueva arquitectura regional para desarrollar el programa de acción de la CARICOM sobre el crimen y la seguridad.

En esa reunión, los jefes de gobierno firmaron un Acuerdo Intergubernamental por el que se establecía la Agencia como entidad jurídica, con la responsabilidad directa de la investigación, el seguimiento y la evaluación, el análisis y la preparación de documentos de antecedentes e informes, así como la elaboración de proyectos y la aplicación del programa regional sobre el crimen y la seguridad.

Goodyear, EASE Logistics And The City Of Dublin, Ohio To Collaborate On Connected Mobility Pilot

AKRON, Ohio, March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company (NASDAQ: GT), EASE Logistics and the City of Dublin today announced a pilot as part of the Smart Columbus initiative to advance connected mobility.

…

For the pilot, the three participants will experiment in the areas of tire intelligence and cloud-based logistics among others within an innovation region located in and around Columbus, Ohio, known as the Beta District. With the potential to share and enhance data on connected mobility, these experiments could lead to new products and solutions that will benefit trucking fleets, consumers and cities in the future.

Initial tests will include the installation of Goodyear TPMS Plus systems on eight EASE Logistics vehicles traveling throughout the Beta District of the 33 Smart Mobility Corridor outside of Columbus, a leading location for testing connected vehicle technology in the Midwest. Once installed, Goodyear TPMS Plus will monitor tire conditions like pressure and temperature in real time, which can help prevent roadside breakdowns and improve vehicle safety and handling. EASE Logistics can leverage this data to initiate proactive maintenance and make routing decisions that improve traffic flow in the area.

«Goodyear has a longstanding reputation for innovation and plays a leading role in global initiatives to advance mobility,» said Johnny McIntosh, director of Integrated Solutions and Tire Management at Goodyear. «We continuously look for opportunities to collaborate with like-minded groups, such as EASE Logistics and the City of Dublin to test and learn with the ultimate goal of discovering new mobility solutions.»

«EASE and Goodyear share a common set of values regarding safety, sustainability, and service — and understand that innovation plays a key role in achieving these. As such, we are committed to innovating in the area of Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) technology to keep vehicles connected and drivers safe throughout the transportation process,» said Peter Coratola Jr., president of EASE Logistics. «EASE recognizes this collaboration as a stepping stone toward more advanced technologies like autonomous trucks that may one day reduce delays and commute times, prevent crashes and cut emissions by maintaining consistent speeds.»

As part of the Beta District, the City of Dublin was chosen for this pilot as it aspires to be the most connected community in the United States and is located in the same state where Goodyear and EASE Logistics are headquartered.

«The Beta District is where companies work collaboratively with non-profits, academia, and government entities in an open playground to safely launch, test and evolve new technology in real-world settings,» said Doug McCollough, chief information officer for the City of Dublin. «Leveraging expertise in distribution and logistics through EASE Logistics, with the global research and development capabilities of Goodyear, the City of Dublin offers the truly unique public perspective of local government dedicated to fostering innovation in the smart mobility space.»

Global Air Cargo Services Market Report 2021: Market is Expected to Reach $99.67 Billion in 2025 – Forecast to 2030

DUBLIN, March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «Air Cargo Services Global Market Report 2021: COVID-19 Impact and Recovery to 2030» report…

DUBLIN, March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «Air Cargo Services Global Market Report 2021: COVID-19 Impact and Recovery to 2030» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The global air cargo services market is expected to grow from $56.48 billion in 2020 to $64.98 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15%.

Air Cargo Services Global Market Report 2021: COVID-19 Impact and Recovery to 2030 provides the strategists, marketers and senior management with the critical information they need to assess the global air cargo services market as it emerges from the COVID-19 shut down.

Major companies in the air cargo transport services market include Cathay Pacific Cargo; FedEx; The Emirates Group; United Parcel Service and DHL Aviation.

The growth is mainly due to the companies rearranging their operations and recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The market is expected to reach $99.67 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 11%.

The air cargo transport services market consists of sales of air cargo transport services and related goods by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that use aircraft, such as airplanes and helicopters to provide air transportation of cargo and mail on a contract basis over fixed international routes. The air cargo services market is segmented into air mail and air freight.

Asia Pacific was the largest region in the global air cargo services market, accounting for 40% of the market in 2020. North America was the second largest region accounting for 26% of the global air cargo services market. Eastern Europe was the smallest region in the global air cargo services market.

Air cargo companies are increasingly using block chain technology to improve efficiency, minimize losses, and prevent damage to cargo. Block chain technology allows air cargo companies to digitally track and record the change of custody for airline cargo containers, or Unit Load Devices (ULDs), as they journey between destinations.

For instance, block chain in Transport Alliance (BiTA) is pushing for a standardized implementation in the logistics industry. Large industry players such as UPS, FedEx, DHL, and Union Pacific have signed on with BiTA. Sita, an air transport communications and information technology company estimate the possibility of using block chain technology to save $400M a year for the air cargo industry.

LONDON, March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — BE OPEN Art, an online gallery designed by Elena Baturina’s BE OPEN think tank, is happy to announce its first ever Artist of the Year, selected by the biggest vote among the monthly ratings.

Our congratulations and the €500 prize go to Theophilus Tetteh (NiiOdai), an experimental and expressionist artist from Ghana.

Theophilus Tetteh, also known by his brush name Nii Odai, is from the capital city of Accra, Ghana. As a painter, he works in a diverse variety of themes, which include crowds, architecture, landscapes, townscapes, portraits and Ghanaian village scenes. Theophilus is a member of the Ghana Association of Visual Artist (GAVA).

Aiming to showcase young talents, every month of 2020 BE OPEN Art invited art enthusiasts to choose the best artist among those exhibited in the online gallery. The artist whose works gained a majority of votes throughout the year was then named the Artist of the Year.

To be featured in the gallery, BE OPEN Art selects artists at an early stage of their career who emphasize social consciousness, philosophical meaning and the aesthetical solutions for the wrongs of the contemporary world, such as inequality, lack of diversity, environmental issues, and consumerism. In a way, the project sees its mission in looking for the new influencers in the art scene, and invites everyone to contribute to this process.

Founder of BE OPEN Elena Baturina «We are thrilled to see the number of remarkable emerging talents from all over the world that BE OPEN Art is proud to showcase and celebrate. BE OPEN Art is designed to facilitate them in getting deserved attention and an opportunity to have their say in the art and therefore affect lives of people who appreciate it. We also take the opportunity to applause all the featured artists and thank everyone who voted during the year.»

DJI FPV Combo Drone vs Lamborghini Huracan EVO

ROME, March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — After a long wait here is the new DJI drone! We are talking about the brand new DJI FPV COMBO drone, a mix of performance and extreme shooting that you can fly with an immersive experience, thanks to the use of FPV Goggles V2.

For the first time in the World, a DJI drone performed a track race at the famous Modena racetrack with one of the fastest supercars currently on the market, the Lamborghini Huracan EVO, with its 640 horsepower. The supercar from Sant’Agata Bolognese has a power-to-weight ratio of 2.22 kg/hp; it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and from 0 to 200 km/h in 9 seconds. The maximum speed is 325 km/h. These characteristics make the Huracan EVO one of the most competitive on the track.

The challenger is the new DJI FPV COMBO drone, with a weight of just 795 grams and an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 2 seconds and a maximum speed of 140 Km/h.

Find out how the challenge went on the track in this fantastic video made by Andrea Galeazzi, the most famous Italian YouTuber:

The DJI FPV Combo features a two-axis stabilized camera with a rocksteady system and a maximum resolution of 4K at 60 fps. Flight time is about 20 minutes.

It is the only FPV drone in the world to have flight modes that make it easy to use by both beginners and experienced pilots thanks to the extreme flight configurations.

The race was the brainchild of the Italian engineer Flavio Dolce, head of the DJI Authorized Retail Stores in Italy and thanks to the collaboration of Lamborghini and the Modena Circuit.
