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":"Why Carbon Capture Tax Credits Are Reshaping Oil and Gas","slug":"why-carbon-capture-tax-credits-are-reshaping-oil-and-gas","published_at":"2026-06-23T07:09:25+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/why-carbon-capture-tax-credits-are-reshaping-oil-and-gas","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-0068.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0068.mp3","summary":"Lucas and Luna explain how the 45Q tax credit for carbon capture is turning oil and gas companies into unlikely carbon storage operators. They walk through the mechanics of the credit—$85 per ton for permanent storage—and why it's creating a new revenue stream for legacy energy firms. The episode centers on Occidental Petroleum's direct air capture facility in Texas and the tension between climate goals and fossil fuel profits. Lucas breaks down the math: how a company can earn credits for capturing CO2 from its own operations while continuing to produce oil. Luna raises the question of additionality and whether these credits genuinely reduce emissions or just offset them. They also touch on the broader policy landscape in mid-2026, including the IRS's updated guidance on qualifying for the credit. #CarbonCapture #45QTaxCredit #OccidentalPetroleum #DirectAirCapture #OilAndGas #ClimatePolicy #CCUS #CarbonTaxCredits #EmissionsReduction #FossilFuels #InflationReductionAct #TexasEnergy #CarbonStorage #NetZero #Economics #ClimateEconomics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Lucas and Luna explain how the 45Q tax credit for carbon capture is turning oil and gas companies into unlikely carbon storage operators.
