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":"The Hidden Cost of EV Battery Raw Material Sourcing","slug":"the-hidden-cost-of-ev-battery-raw-material-sourcing","published_at":"2026-06-26T07:06:13+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/the-hidden-cost-of-ev-battery-raw-material-sourcing","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-0074.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0074.mp3","summary":"In this episode of Climate Economics, Lucas and Luna examine the often-overlooked economic and environmental costs of sourcing raw materials for electric vehicle batteries. They focus on lithium, cobalt, and nickel, discussing how price volatility, geopolitical risks, and ESG pressures are reshaping supply chains. The episode details a 2026 study from the International Energy Agency showing that raw material costs now account for over 60% of total battery pack costs—up from 40% in 2020. They explore how automakers like Tesla and BMW are investing in direct sourcing and recycling to mitigate risks, and why the race for 'green' batteries depends on more than just tailpipe emissions. #EVBatteries #Lithium #Cobalt #Nickel #SupplyChain #CriticalMinerals #IEA #Tesla #BMW #BatteryRecycling #ESG #GeopoliticalRisk #RawMaterials #GreenTransition #Economics #ClimateEconomics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In this episode of Climate Economics, Lucas and Luna examine the often-overlooked economic and environmental costs of sourcing raw materials for electric…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":475,"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/the-hidden-cost-of-ev-battery-raw-material-sourcing/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/the-hidden-cost-of-ev-battery-raw-material-sourcing.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
