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 Concrete Is Slashing Carbon With a 3000-Year-Old Recipe","slug":"how-green-concrete-is-slashing-carbon-with-a-3000-year-old-recipe","published_at":"2026-06-25T19:13:25+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/how-green-concrete-is-slashing-carbon-with-a-3000-year-old-recipe","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-0073.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0073.mp3","summary":"Lucas and Luna explore how the cement industry, responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions, is turning to an ancient Roman recipe to decarbonize. They break down how a startup called TerraCem is blending volcanic ash and lime to create a concrete that cures like Roman harbor structures, cutting emissions by 70% while matching modern strength specs. The episode dives into the economics: why this 'Roman concrete' costs slightly more than Portland cement today but could become cheaper with a carbon price of just $50 per ton. They also discuss the regulatory tailwind from California's Low-Carbon Concrete Code and why venture capital is suddenly pouring into the space. A concrete case of ancient technology meeting 21st-century climate policy. #RomanConcrete #CementDecarbonization #TerraCem #CarbonEmissions #GreenConstruction #LowCarbonConcrete #CaliforniaBuildingCode #VolcanicAsh #PortlandCement #CarbonPricing #VentureCapital #ClimateTech #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Sustainability #Infrastructure #MaterialsScience Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Lucas and Luna explore how the cement industry, responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions, is turning to an ancient Roman recipe to decarbonize.
