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 Cement Is Cutting a Third of Global CO2","slug":"how-green-cement-is-cutting-a-third-of-global-co2","published_at":"2026-07-01T19:14:42+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/how-green-cement-is-cutting-a-third-of-global-co2","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-0085.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0085.mp3","summary":"Cement production accounts for roughly 8 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions — more than aviation and shipping combined. In this episode, Lucas and Luna look at how a handful of startups and legacy manufacturers are reinventing the material itself, not just offsetting its footprint. They dig into one company's low-heat electrochemical process that slashes emissions by 70 percent while matching standard Portland cement's cost and curing time. They also examine why Big Cement's net-zero roadmaps still rely on unproven carbon capture, and why venture capital is pouring into novel binders and kiln electrification. A focused look at the hard-to-abate sector that touches every building project on earth. #GreenCement #LowCarbonCement #CementEmissions #IndustrialDecarbonization #CleanTech #ClimateTech #SustainableConstruction #HardToAbate #CarbonEmissions #PortlandCement #Electrification #AlternativeBinders #VentureCapital #NetZero #ConstructionMaterials #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Cement production accounts for roughly 8 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions — more than aviation and shipping combined.
