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 Steel Is Breaking the Cost Barrier","slug":"how-green-steel-is-breaking-the-cost-barrier","published_at":"2026-06-29T07:12:41+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/how-green-steel-is-breaking-the-cost-barrier","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-0080.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0080.mp3","summary":"Lucas and Luna unpack the economics of green steel production, focusing on Sweden's HYBRIT project and its recent breakthrough: producing fossil-free steel at a cost premium of only 15 percent over traditional blast-furnace steel. They explain why that premium is shrinking faster than analysts predicted, how European carbon pricing via the EU Emissions Trading System is closing the gap, and what it means for global steel markets. The hosts also discuss the role of green hydrogen in the process, the looming oversupply of steel in China, and whether green steel can scale without permanent government subsidies. A concrete look at how one heavy industry is decarbonizing without destroying its margins. #GreenSteel #HYBRIT #FossilFreeSteel #Decarbonization #CarbonPricing #EUTaxonomy #GreenHydrogen #SteelIndustry #IndustrialPolicy #ClimateEconomics #EUETS #HardToAbate #SSAB #LKAB #Vattenfall #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Lucas and Luna unpack the economics of green steel production, focusing on Sweden's HYBRIT project and its recent breakthrough: producing fossil-free stee…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":718,"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-steel-is-breaking-the-cost-barrier/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-steel-is-breaking-the-cost-barrier.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
