Lucas and Luna break down the real economics behind carbon pricing, green policy, and the hidden costs of sustainability. 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

Episode #160
How Bunker Fuel Is Paving the Way for Green Shipping
Aug 20, 202610 minS4
Episode 160 of Climate Economics with Fexingo drills into the maritime fuel transition. Lucas and Luna explore how the global shipping industry, which moves 90 percent of world trade and emits nearly a billion tons of CO2 annually, is quietly shifting from heavy fuel oil to greener alternatives. They anchor the episode on the 2023 IMO carbon intensity regulations and the upcoming 2030 targets, explaining the economic incentives at play. The conversation covers the rise of LNG as a transitional fuel, the promise of green methanol and ammonia, and the real-world challenges of infrastructure and cost. With a nod to Maersk's pioneering methanol container ship and the current price gap between dirty and clean fuels, the hosts make the case that shipping could become a blueprint for hard-to-abate sectors. The episode also touches on the role of carbon pricing in leveling the playing field. Listeners gain a clear picture of how a seemingly old-school industry is becoming a surprising leader in decarbonization, and what it means for the cost of everything from electronics to bananas. #ClimateEconomics #ShippingDecarbonization #MaritimeFuel #GreenShipping #CarbonPricing #IMORegulations #Maersk #GreenMethanol #LNGShipping #AmmoniaFuel #CarbonIntensity #HardToAbate #SupplyChain #InternationalTrade #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Sustainability Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Why Carbon Border Taxes Are Quietly Reshaping Steel Trade
Aug 19, 20268 minS4
In this episode of Climate Economics with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna unpack the emerging reality of carbon border adjustments—focusing on how the EU's CBAM is starting to reshape global steel trade. They trace a specific tonne of steel from a mill in Alabama to a port in Antwerp, explaining the paperwork, the price tag, and the strategic decisions now facing exporters. With the transition period ending in 2026, the hosts discuss what the new permanent regime means for prices, competitiveness, and the future of heavy industry. They also touch on how other economies are responding, from the UK's parallel scheme to proposals in the US and Japan. Along the way, they consider whether carbon borders are a genuine climate tool or just a new form of trade protection. If you've ever wondered how a climate policy shows up in the cost of a bridge or a car, this episode walks you through the mechanics with a concrete example and a forward-looking perspective. #CarbonBorderAdjustment #CBAM #SteelTrade #ClimatePolicy #EUTrade #CarbonPricing #HeavyIndustry #TradeEconomics #IndustrialDecarbonization #ClimateEconomics #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #GlobalTrade #Sustainability #GreenSteel #CarbonTariffs #TradeWar Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
How Carbon Credits Are Becoming a Currency for Nature
Aug 18, 20268 minS4
In this episode of Climate Economics, Lucas and Luna explore a surprising new trend: the rise of biodiversity credits as a separate market from carbon offsets. With the global biodiversity framework setting ambitious targets, companies are starting to invest in nature restoration projects that generate measurable gains for ecosystems. Lucas breaks down how the TNFD (Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures) is driving this shift, and why the economics of biodiversity credits are tricky — from the challenge of quantifying 'a unit of nature' to the risk of greenwashing. Luna brings up the role of insurance-linked securities as a potential model for pricing ecosystem services, and they debate whether 'nature-positive' can ever be as rigorous as 'net zero.' The episode also touches on a pilot program in Colombia that's pairing biodiversity credits with carbon credits, and what that means for the future of conservation finance. If you're curious about how markets are starting to value the natural world, this episode gives you a clear, grounded look at the mechanics, the pitfalls, and the promise. #BiodiversityCredits #NatureFinance #TNFD #CarbonMarkets #ConservationEconomics #ClimateEconomics #GreenFinance #NaturalCapital #EcosystemServices #Sustainability #CarbonCredits #ClimatePolicy #Economics #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ClimateAction #ESG Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Why Carbon Credits Are No Longer a Compliance Afterthought
Aug 17, 202610 minS4
Carbon credits have long been seen as a compliance afterthought, but that's changing fast. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how the voluntary carbon market is quietly transforming into a serious financial market, with real prices, real infrastructure, and real money at stake. They dig into the rise of carbon credit exchanges, the growing role of banks and asset managers, and the controversial question of whether credits can ever be more than a rounding error in corporate climate plans. With references to recent price movements and the push for standardized contracts, they ask whether carbon credits are becoming the next commodity—or a catalyst for genuine emissions reductions. If you've ever wondered how carbon offsets actually work—or whether they work at all—this episode gives you the tools to think about it like an economist. #CarbonCredits #VoluntaryCarbonMarket #CarbonPricing #CarbonOffset #ClimateFinance #EmissionsTrading #CarbonMarket #Economics #ClimateEconomics #SustainableFinance #NetZero #Compliance #ESG #CommodityTrading #ClimatePolicy #GreenFinance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Banks have been quietly pricing carbon into their loan books for years, but a new twist is emerging: some now apply two different carbon prices to the same loan. In this episode, Lucas and Luna dig into the economics behind internal carbon pricing at lenders, using a real example from a European bank that charges its shipping desk a different price than its real estate desk. They explore why this matters for everything from mortgage rates to corporate borrowing costs, and what it signals about the future of climate risk in finance. Drawing on the bank's disclosed methodology, they unpack the logic of price discrimination by sector, the role of regulatory pressure, and the practical challenges of measuring emissions for a loan portfolio. The conversation lands on a bigger question: if banks can price carbon twice, why don't more of them do it, and what would happen if they did? A sharp, concrete look at an overlooked corner of green finance. #CarbonPricing #Banking #ClimateRisk #GreenFinance #InternalCarbonPrice #LoanPricing #ESG #SustainableFinance #EuropeanBank #Shipping #RealEstate #CarbonAccounting #Regulation #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ClimateEconomics #NetZero Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
