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 Slashed Emissions Using Ancient Roman Chemistry","slug":"how-green-concrete-slashed-emissions-using-ancient-roman-chemistry","published_at":"2026-07-03T19:32:16+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/how-green-concrete-slashed-emissions-using-ancient-roman-chemistry","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-0089.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0089.mp3","summary":"Lucas and Luna dive into how a single Roman concrete recipe discovered at a 2024 MIT dig is now being scaled by a Swiss startup to cut cement emissions by 60 percent. They unpack the chemistry—volcanic ash vs. Portland cement—and the economics: why this ancient tech costs 20 percent less per ton than carbon capture on traditional concrete. A deep look at how a 2,000-year-old fix is beating modern engineering on cost and scale. Plus, why regulators in California and the EU are rewriting building codes to favour this method. No hot takes, just the numbers behind the biggest materials story you haven't heard. #GreenConcrete #RomanCement #CarbonEmissions #MIT #SwissStartup #CementIndustry #BuildingMaterials #ClimateTech #CarbonCapture #CaliforniaBuildingCode #EURegulation #ConstructionEconomics #VolcanicAsh #PortlandCement #Economics #Sustainability #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Lucas and Luna dive into how a single Roman concrete recipe discovered at a 2024 MIT dig is now being scaled by a Swiss startup to cut cement emissions by…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":558,"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-concrete-slashed-emissions-using-ancient-roman-chemistry/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-concrete-slashed-emissions-using-ancient-roman-chemistry.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
