Leading the Charge Against Climate Change: CoolImpact’s Breakthrough Approach to Refrigerant Management in Vietnam

HFC-based CDR As climate disasters intensify—devastating floods engulfing communities, the urgency for innovative climate solutions has reached a critical point. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) declared 2024 the warmest year in history, underscoring the warning from UN Secretary-General António Guterres about a “highway to climate hell.” Amid this crisis, CoolImpact emerges as a trailblazer in green startup Southeast Asia, tackling hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) hidden in refrigerators.

SLCP mitigation CoolImpact carbon removal is not just another sustainable venture. It’s a carbon removal startup Vietnam that transforms cooling waste into carbon assets. By addressing HFCs and F-gases, CoolImpact unlocks long-lasting climate benefits in the Vietnam, aligning with the global HFC phase-down goals.

The Invisible Threat: F-Gases Driving Climate Change

cooling waste carbon asset To appreciate HFC-based CDR, we must first understand the problem. HFCs are potent greenhouse gases used in cooling systems, with a global warming potential (GWP) thousands of times more harmful than carbon dioxide. As high-impact pollutants, they cause rapid warming despite their shorter atmospheric lifespan. In developing nations, poor refrigerant management is widespread, accelerating global warming.

digital MRV startupVietnam generates thousands of tons of refrigerants annually from refrigeration systems. Most are released into the atmosphere, undermining sustainable development goals. super-pollutant control offers immediate environmental impact, making it a key strategy for carbon removal Asia.

CoolImpact’s Solution: From Capture to Climate Value

MRV carbon platformCoolImpact Vietnam offers a scalable solution by intercepting HFCs at the source. Partnering with refrigeration experts, CoolImpact recovers gases into specialized equipment, tracked via the CoolImpact App. These gases are then eliminated securely, with validation through transparent tracking.

This refrigerant carbon credits approach generates marketable carbon units for global markets. Unlike conventional offsets, CoolImpact’s model focuses on eliminating super-pollutants, offering high-value offsets. The tracking technology ensures data integrity with features like geo-tagged data.

A field test in Ho Chi Minh City (July 2025) proved operational success, moving it to proven results. By fostering a technician-driven solution, CoolImpact empowers local workers, aligning economic benefits with sustainability.

Business Model: Turning Waste into Wealth

CoolImpact employs a scalable business model:

1. Verified recovery fees from businesses.
2. Offset revenue distribution with stakeholders.
3. MRV-as-a-Service for other climate initiatives.

By 2025, CoolImpact aims to grow impact across multiple regions, recovering large-scale super-pollutants. By 2027, ESG API integration will enhance the tracking ecosystem. Long-term, export to Southeast Asia targets massive emissions reductions by 2030, alongside 7 million tCO₂e prevented.

Impact Metrics and Co-Benefits

community carbon credit platform Each unit of refrigerant captured avoids significant CO₂-equivalent emissions. For example, initial batches equates to ~250 tCO₂e verified. Long-term plans includes 10 million tCO₂e prevented by 2035, alongside workforce development.

Additional advantages include:

1. Enhanced technician protections.
2. Rewarded professionals through carbon income.
3. Workforce development in destruction.

By turning super-pollutants into opportunities, CoolImpact supports a community-driven carbon market.
