The Climate Tech Podcast with Fexingo: Energy, Sustainability, and Decarbonization Companies

Lucas and Luna examine the business of climate tech: the companies, policies, and market forces behind the energy transition. Each episode starts with a specific decarbonization company — a solar installer, a battery recycler, a carbon-accounting startup — and traces its revenue model, unit economics, and competitive moat. Lucas draws on financial filings and industry reports; Luna tests assumptions with on-the-ground examples from manufacturing floors and project sites. Together they ask: Which climate technologies are actually profitable without subsidies? Where do government incentives create real market signals versus distortions? And how do incumbents like oil majors and utility giants respond when new entrants threaten their margins? The show is built for investors, analysts, and operators who need to separate viable ventures from green hype. No hot takes, no cheerleading — just the numbers and the strategic logic behind them. After each conversation, the listener should be able to explain why one battery chemist is scaling while another stalls, or why a carbon-offset startup's gross margin tells a different story than its press release. #ClimateTech #EnergyTransition #Decarbonization #CleanEnergy #SolarEnergy #BatteryStorage #CarbonAccounting #GreenHydrogen #ElectricVehicles #SustainableFinance #ESGInvesting #ClimatePolicy #RenewableEnergy #GridModernization #CarbonMarkets #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #Technology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • How One Startup Turns Methane Ice Into Transport Fuel

    How One Startup Turns Methane Ice Into Transport Fuel
    2026/06/07
    Methane hydrates — ice-like crystals on the ocean floor — hold more energy than all known fossil fuels combined. But they've been notoriously difficult to extract without triggering massive methane release. This episode profiles a Colorado-based startup called HydraShift that has developed a novel 'solid-to-gas-to-liquid' process to harvest methane from submarine hydrates and convert it directly into drop-in shipping fuel. Co-founder Dr. Elena Voss explains how her team's catalyst bed can process 200 tons of hydrate per day on a single offshore platform, producing fuel with negative carbon intensity because the methane would have leaked anyway. We discuss the $80 million Series B they closed in March, the regulatory hurdles from the International Seabed Authority, and why environmental groups are split — some seeing this as a bridge fuel, others as a license to drill. Lucas and Luna also dive into the economics: at $2.80 per gallon equivalent, HydraShift claims it can undercut conventional bunker fuel without subsidies. A concrete look at one of the most controversial frontier technologies in climate tech. #MethaneHydrates #HydraShift #DrElenaVoss #ShippingFuel #CleanTech #CarbonNegative #SeriesB #InternationalSeabedAuthority #OceanMining #BridgeFuel #ClimateTech #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Decarbonization #EnergyTransition #SubmarineResources Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How One Startup Turns Pig Manure Into Jet Fuel

    How One Startup Turns Pig Manure Into Jet Fuel
    2026/06/07
    Episode 35 of The Climate Tech Podcast looks at a surprising feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel: livestock manure. Lucas and Luna explore how a Nebraska-based startup called FarmFuel Energy is building its first commercial plant to convert hog waste into drop-in jet fuel, potentially cutting emissions by 80% compared to fossil kerosene. They break down the two-step process — anaerobic digestion followed by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis — and the economics of a facility that costs $120 million to build but can produce 10 million gallons of fuel per year. They also discuss the regulatory push from the EPA's Renewable Fuel Standard and the Inflation Reduction Act's sustainable aviation fuel tax credit, which together make manure-to-fuel projects viable. But challenges remain: scaling the feedstock supply chain, competing with corn ethanol for waste streams, and the sheer volume of manure needed. By the end, listeners will understand why pigs might just help decarbonize aviation. #SustainableAviationFuel #PigManure #FarmFuelEnergy #ClimateTech #Decarbonization #FischerTropsch #AnaerobicDigestion #RenewableFuelStandard #InflationReductionAct #JetFuel #Agriculture #WasteToEnergy #EmissionsReduction #Biofuels #Nebraska #Startup #Business #FexingoBusiness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How a Startup Turns Methane from Landfills into Graphene

    How a Startup Turns Methane from Landfills into Graphene
    2026/06/06
    Lucas and Luna explore a startup called NanoCarbon that uses a plasma reactor to convert methane from landfills into graphene and clean hydrogen. Graphene is a super-strong, conductive material used in batteries, concrete, and coatings. The process is also carbon-negative because it prevents methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from escaping into the atmosphere. The hosts discuss the technology, the economics, and why this could be a scalable solution for both waste management and advanced materials. This episode dives into the science, the business model, and the potential impact of turning a climate problem into a valuable product. #NanoCarbon #Graphene #MethaneCapture #LandfillGas #PlasmaReactor #CleanHydrogen #CarbonNegative #AdvancedMaterials #ClimateTech #WasteToValue #Decarbonization #Startup #Sustainability #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ClimateTechPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
