Each episode examines a specific mechanism — from EU ETS permit prices to the impact of US Inflation Reduction Act subsidies on corporate balance sheets — and traces how these policies ripple through energy markets, manufacturing, and consumer prices. Lucas brings the numbers and institutional context (how the World Bank's carbon pricing dashboard works, what the Social Cost of Carbon actually measures), while Luna pushes for the practical implications: does a €50 carbon tax actually change behavior? What happens when a steel plant in Germany faces both emission costs and Chinese competition? The show serves investors, policy analysts, and business leaders who need to understand climate-related financial risk without the activism or greenwashing. Listeners walk away able to parse a carbon offset market, evaluate a company's net-zero roadmap, and spot the difference between a real price signal and a political slogan. How do you put a number on a ton of carbon — and who pays when that number is wrong? #CarbonPricing #GreenPolicy #SustainabilityCosts #EUETS #Infla…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T06:19:03.667812+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781"},"episode":{"title":"How Carbon Removal Credits Are Becoming a Commodity Market","slug":"how-carbon-removal-credits-are-becoming-a-commodity-market","published_at":"2026-06-22T06:52:36+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/how-carbon-removal-credits-are-becoming-a-commodity-market","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0066.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0066.mp3","summary":"Episode 66 of Climate Economics with Fexingo dives into the rapidly evolving market for carbon removal credits, which are moving from niche offsets to a standardized commodity. Lucas and Luna explore the forces driving this shift, including new registry standards, corporate demand for high-durability credits, and the rise of futures contracts on exchanges like the CME. They focus on the recent launch of a voluntary carbon removal futures contract in May 2026 and what it means for pricing transparency and market liquidity. The hosts break down the difference between avoidance and removal credits, why removal credits command a premium, and how this new instrument could unlock investment in direct air capture and enhanced weathering startups. They also touch on the role of verifiers like Puro.earth and the challenges of standardization. The episode closes with a look at whether commoditization helps or hurts the integrity of carbon removal as a climate solution. #CarbonRemoval #CarbonCredits #CommodityMarkets #CME #FuturesContracts #ClimateFinance #DirectAirCapture #EnhancedWeathering #PuroEarth #VoluntaryCarbonMarket #CarbonPricing #NetZero #ClimateTech #Economics #Sustainability #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CarbonMarkets Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 66 of Climate Economics with Fexingo dives into the rapidly evolving market for carbon removal credits, which are moving from niche offsets to a s…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":598,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/episodes/how-carbon-removal-credits-are-becoming-a-commodity-market/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/how-carbon-removal-credits-are-becoming-a-commodity-market.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
