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 Green Aviation Fuel Finally Reached Price Parity","slug":"how-green-aviation-fuel-finally-reached-price-parity","published_at":"2026-07-13T07:08:23+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/how-green-aviation-fuel-finally-reached-price-parity","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-0108.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0108.mp3","summary":"Lucas and Luna explore the surprising economics behind sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) reaching cost parity with traditional jet fuel for the first time in mid-2026. They break down the three key drivers: a 50% drop in production costs thanks to new alcohol-to-jet conversion technology, the EU's carbon pricing for aviation hitting €120 per ton, and United Airlines' bulk purchasing model that locked in stable supply. The episode focuses on one facility—World Energy's Paramount, California plant—which now produces SAF at $1.85 per gallon, matching conventional kerosene. Lucas explains why this changes the math for airlines facing both regulatory pressure and consumer demand, while Luna questions whether supply can scale fast enough to meet net-zero targets. A concrete look at the moment a green technology stopped being a premium product. #SustainableAviationFuel #GreenAviation #CarbonPricing #Airlines #ClimateEconomics #RenewableEnergy #UnitedAirlines #WorldEnergy #AlcoholToJet #EUEmissionsTrading #JetFuel #NetZero #GreenPremium #IndustrialPolicy #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ClimateEconomics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Lucas and Luna explore the surprising economics behind sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) reaching cost parity with traditional jet fuel for the first time i…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":652,"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-green-aviation-fuel-finally-reached-price-parity/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-green-aviation-fuel-finally-reached-price-parity.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
