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 Corporate Water Pricing Is Becoming the Next Carbon Market","slug":"how-corporate-water-pricing-is-becoming-the-next-carbon-market","published_at":"2026-07-07T07:08:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/how-corporate-water-pricing-is-becoming-the-next-carbon-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-0096.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0096.mp3","summary":"Episode 96 of Climate Economics with Fexingo explores the emerging market for water pricing and water risk disclosure. Lucas and Luna examine how companies like Microsoft, PepsiCo, and Alphabet are adopting internal water tariffs—charging their own business units for water use to drive conservation and efficiency. They break down the mechanics of water valuation, the role of the newly formed Water Disclosure Project (a spin-off from CDP), and why investors are starting to treat water risk like climate risk. The episode draws on real data: the World Resources Institute projects that by 2030, global water demand will exceed supply by 40 percent. The hosts discuss how water pricing is moving from a niche ESG concept to a boardroom priority, with specific examples from semiconductor manufacturing and beverage production. They also connect the trend to the broader shift toward natural capital accounting and the rise of 'water positive' corporate commitments. A concrete, numbers-driven episode that helps listeners understand why water is becoming a priced asset. #WaterPricing #WaterRisk #CorporateWater #NaturalCapital #ESG #Microsoft #PepsiCo #Alphabet #WaterDisclosureProject #WorldResourcesInstitute #Economics #ClimateEconomics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Sustainability #WaterScarcity #InternalCarbonPricing #WaterPositive Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 96 of Climate Economics with Fexingo explores the emerging market for water pricing and water risk disclosure.
