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 Hydrogen Is Beating Natural Gas on Cost","slug":"how-green-hydrogen-is-beating-natural-gas-on-cost","published_at":"2026-06-30T19:17:42+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/how-green-hydrogen-is-beating-natural-gas-on-cost","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-0083.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0083.mp3","summary":"In Episode 83 of Climate Economics with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna examine the surprising economics of green hydrogen. They focus on a specific project in Texas where a wind-to-hydrogen facility is producing at $2.10 per kilogram — undercutting the $2.50 benchmark for grey hydrogen from natural gas. The hosts break down the three forces driving the cost crossover: falling electrolyzer prices (down 40% since 2023), rising carbon taxes in Europe that increase grey hydrogen's true cost, and the Inflation Reduction Act's 45V tax credit worth up to $3 per kilogram. They also explore the limitations — green hydrogen still faces transport and storage hurdles, and only 10% of announced projects have reached final investment decision. The episode ends with a look at how the hydrogen cost curve could reshape steelmaking, shipping, and ammonia production by 2030. #GreenHydrogen #HydrogenEconomy #ClimateEconomics #CarbonPricing #InflationReductionAct #RenewableEnergy #Electrolyzer #TexasWind #EnergyTransition #CleanHydrogen #CostCurve #Decarbonization #GreenSteel #Ammonia #Economics #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In Episode 83 of Climate Economics with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna examine the surprising economics of green hydrogen.
