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

By: Fexingo
Listen for free

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 Startups Are Using Microbes to Mine E-Waste for Copper

    How Startups Are Using Microbes to Mine E-Waste for Copper
    Jun 12 2026
    Lucas and Luna dive into the world of biomining, where startups are using engineered microbes to extract copper from electronic waste. They explore why copper is critical for the energy transition, how traditional smelting produces toxic waste, and the specific biology behind one company's approach: a startup called Mint Innovation that uses a proprietary microbe to leach copper from printed circuit boards in just hours. The hosts break down the economics: copper concentration in e-waste can be 10 to 20 times higher than in mined ore, and biomining operates at a fraction of the energy cost. They also discuss scaling challenges and whether this technology can displace traditional mining in the near term. #Biomining #Copper #Ewaste #MintInnovation #CircularEconomy #CleanTech #Startups #Microbes #MetalRecovery #Sustainability #Business #Technology #ClimateTech #EnergyTransition #Mining #Recycling #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How One Startup Turns Algae Into Carbon-Negative Bioplastics

    How One Startup Turns Algae Into Carbon-Negative Bioplastics
    Jun 11 2026
    Episode 44 of The Climate Tech Podcast explores a breakthrough in sustainable materials: using algae to produce biodegradable plastics that actually remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Lucas and Luna dive into the science behind the company AlgaeMatrix, which claims its process can sequester two tons of CO2 per ton of bioplastic produced — making it carbon-negative. They discuss the economics, the challenges of scaling algae farming, and why big brands like Coca-Cola and Unilever are investing in this technology. A concrete look at one of the most promising paths to replacing petroleum-based plastics. #ClimateTech #Sustainability #Bioplastics #Algae #CarbonNegative #AlgaeMatrix #CocaCola #Unilever #CircularEconomy #Decarbonization #CleanTech #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #Podcast #RenewableMaterials #CO2Removal #PlasticPollution #GreenChemistry Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How Startups Are Turning Heat from Data Centers into Green Energy

    How Startups Are Turning Heat from Data Centers into Green Energy
    Jun 11 2026
    Episode 43 of The Climate Tech Podcast with Fexingo dives into a growing trend: capturing waste heat from data centers and converting it into usable energy. Lucas and Luna explore how companies like Deep Green in the UK and a startup in Finland are installing direct-to-chip heat exchangers and heat pumps to warm homes, offices, and even commercial greenhouses. They break down the numbers: a single hyperscale data center can produce enough excess heat to warm 10,000 homes. The hosts discuss the economic incentives, the role of cloud giants like Amazon and Microsoft in funding these projects, and why this approach is more energy-efficient than building dedicated district heating plants. They also touch on the policy landscape in Europe, where data center heat recovery is becoming mandatory in countries like Denmark and Sweden. Tune in for a grounded look at how our digital infrastructure might help decarbonize heating, one server rack at a time. #DataCenter #WasteHeat #DistrictHeating #DeepGreenUK #Finland #Amazon #Microsoft #HeatRecovery #EnergyEfficiency #Decarbonization #GreenTech #Sustainability #ClimateTech #Business #Technology #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #ClimateTechPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
