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 Removal Credits Are Getting Regulated in 2026","slug":"why-carbon-removal-credits-are-getting-regulated-in-2026","published_at":"2026-06-19T19:14:19+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/why-carbon-removal-credits-are-getting-regulated-in-2026","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-0061.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0061.mp3","summary":"Episode 61 of Climate Economics dives into the new regulatory framework for carbon removal credits emerging in 2026. Lucas and Luna examine the Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity Initiative's (VCMI) new claims code, which requires companies to use only credits from registries with third-party verification and transparent methodologies. They discuss how this is splitting the market: high-integrity credits trade at $50 per tonne while unverified offsets languish below $5. The episode also covers the EU's proposed Carbon Removal Certification Framework, which could mandate that credits meet durability standards of at least 100 years. Real-world case study: how Microsoft's $200 million purchase of biochar credits from Charm Industrial met the new criteria, while a major airline saw its forest offsets delisted. The hosts explore implications for corporate net-zero strategies and the rising role of geological storage. #CarbonRemoval #ClimateRegulation #VCMI #CarbonCredits #NetZero #EUClimatePolicy #CarbonMarkets #Sustainability #GreenPolicy #Microsoft #CharmIndustrial #Biochar #GeologicalStorage #ClimateEconomics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #CarbonPricing Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 61 of Climate Economics dives into the new regulatory framework for carbon removal credits emerging in 2026.
