At the heart of it all is SMRX\u2014a modular, container-based energy system designed to store electricity and heat, and eventually generate them as well. <\/p>\n<p>Wagner explains why, in his view, SMRX is far more than just a new energy technology: It\u2019s about data centers, hospitals, wind and solar farms, industrial facilities, shipping, airports, and communities and regions without a stable power grid. Of particular importance to him is the idea of bringing energy to where it\u2019s needed\u2014without massive grid expansion and with a model that remains predictable for customers. <\/p>\n<p>The discussion also covers Emerald Horizon\u2019s initial public offering on the Vienna Stock Exchange, the \u201cEnergy as a Service\u201d business model, international partners, the role of scaling and regulation\u2014and why Wagner believes that affordable energy not only creates prosperity but also enhances quality of life, stability, and future prospects.<\/p>\n<h3>Topics at a Glance<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Who is Florian Wagner\u2014and what drives him?<\/li>\n<li>What&#8217;s Behind SMRX Technology<\/li>\n<li>Why Electricity and Heat Storage Are Key Components<\/li>\n<li>Power Supply for Data Centers, Hospitals, and Industry<\/li>\n<li>SMRX in emerging markets, on islands, and in communities<\/li>\n<li>Energy as a Service as a Business Model<\/li>\n<li>The Journey from the Initial Idea Through Partnerships to the Initial Public Offering<\/li>\n<li>The Vision of an \u201cEmerald-Green\u201d Future by 2040<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If energy becomes a common good, then it will no longer be necessary to wage wars over it.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>\ud83c\udfa7 Who is this episode for?<\/h3>\n<p>This episode is for anyone who wants to understand the vision behind Emerald Horizon\u2014and why Florian Wagner is convinced that new energy technologies can combine prosperity, climate protection, and quality of life.<\/p>\n<h3>More Info<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83c\udf10 Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emerald-horizon.com\">emerald-horizon.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udfb5 TikTok: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@emeraldhorizonag\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@emeraldhorizonag<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\u25b6\ufe0f YouTube: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@EmeraldAGth\/videos\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@EmeraldAGth<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udcbc LinkedIn: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/emerald-horizon-ag\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Emerald Horizon AG<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udcf8 Instagram: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/emeraldhorizonag\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@emeraldhorizonag<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\u2716\ufe0f X: <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EmeraldAg75772\" rel=\"nofollow\">@EmeraldAg75772<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n.podcast-shownotes{\nfont-family: 'Barlow Semi Condensed', serif;\nmargin: 50px 0 50px 0;\n}<\/p>\n<p>.podcast-shownotes h3{\ncolor: #104d2a !important;\n}<\/p>\n<p>h1.entry-title{\ncolor: #104d2a !important;\nfont-family: 'Barlow Semi Condensed', serif !important;\n}\n<\/style>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this episode, host Silvia Gaich speaks with Florian Wagner, co-founder and CEO of Emerald Horizon AG, about the grand vision behind SMRX\u2014the technology Emerald Horizon is using to rethink the energy supply of the future.
