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 Splitting the Market","slug":"why-carbon-removal-credits-are-splitting-the-market","published_at":"2026-06-14T06:43:05+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-splitting-the-market","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-0050.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0050.mp3","summary":"Episode 50 of Climate Economics zooms in on a rift that's quietly reshaping the voluntary carbon market. Lucas and Luna examine the growing split between engineered carbon removal credits—like direct air capture and enhanced weathering—and nature-based offsets such as tree planting. They walk through a specific deal: in March 2026, Frontier, the buyer consortium backed by Stripe, Alphabet, and Meta, committed $80 million to purchase removal credits from a new direct air capture facility in Wyoming. The catch? That facility won't deliver tons until 2029 at the earliest, and the credits cost over $600 per ton, compared to a nature-based credit that trades around $15. Why would anyone pay 40 times more? Lucas breaks down the permanence problem, the debate over net versus gross removal, and what this means for corporate net-zero claims. Luna pushes back on whether engineered solutions scale fast enough to matter. If you're trying to understand which carbon credit actually subtracts CO₂ from the atmosphere versus one that just avoids adding it, this episode gives you the frame. #CarbonRemoval #DirectAirCapture #EnhancedWeathering #Frontier #Stripe #Alphabet #Meta #VoluntaryCarbonMarket #NetZero #CarbonCredits #ClimateTech #Sustainability #Economics #ClimateEconomics #CarbonPricing #GreenPolicy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 50 of Climate Economics zooms in on a rift that's quietly reshaping the voluntary carbon market.
