Summary
Episode 117 explores blue carbon credits — carbon offsets generated from coastal ecosystems like mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes. Lucas and Luna explain why these credits command a premium over traditional forestry offsets, diving into the science, the economics, and the verification challenges. They look at a recent $2.8 million deal between a major tech company and a mangrove restoration project in Indonesia, breaking down how carbon is measured, who pays, and why investors are starting to take notice. The hosts also touch on the risks: additionality disputes, permanence concerns, and the tension between conservation and local development. By the end, listeners will understand why blue carbon is being called the 'high-grade collateral' of the voluntary carbon market, and whether it can scale quickly enough to matter. #BlueCarbon #CarbonCredits #CarbonMarkets #Mangroves #Seagrass #SaltMarshes #ClimateFinance #NatureBasedSolutions #CarbonOffset #VoluntaryCarbonMarket #Indonesia #CoastalRestoration #ClimateEconomics #Sustainability #GreenFinance #CarbonPricing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
