ESG Decoded is a podcast powered by ClimeCo to share updates related to business innovation and sustainability in a clear and actionable manner.
In this episode, Kaitlyn Allen interviews Mark T Behrman, President and CEO of LSB Industries, Inc., and Bill Flederbach, President and CEO of ClimeCo.
Mark joined LSB Industries in 2014 as Senior Vice President of Corporate Development and was subsequently appointed Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer. He has over 35 years of executive management, operational, financial, and investment banking experience. In addition, Mark serves as Chairman of the Board of PHX Minerals, Inc. and The Fertilizer Institute.
Bill is the founder and CEO of ClimeCo, where he and his team have pioneered the creation of scaleable greenhouse gas reduction efforts since 2009. Bill is passionate about new practices and technologies that utilize markets to make tangible environmental and societal impacts.
Listen as Kaitlyn, Mark, and Bill reflect on the long-standing relationship between LSB and ClimeCo, how carbon credits are generated, and opportunities in industrial decarbonization. LSB was one of ClimeCo’s first clients and its very first N2O abatement client. (Nitrous oxide, or N2O, is a potent greenhouse gas). This conversation covers how GHG reductions can be converted into environmental credits, which can positively impact the environment and communities. The three explain why the energy transition to a low-carbon future is not just a fad, how companies are working to understand how to monetize the related benefits, and its impact on business models.
In signature ESG Decoded fashion, we want to bring clarity to the complex. Listeners will gain insight into the 45Q Tax Credit, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the significance of “green,” “gray,” and “blue” ammonia, and carbon capture and storage (CCS).
