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

cooling and carbon startup As climate disasters intensify—extreme weather threatening ecosystems, the urgency for game-changing environmental strategies has reached a critical point. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) declared 2024 the most extreme year for global temperatures, underscoring the warning from UN Secretary-General António Guterres about a “race toward climate disaster.” Amid this crisis, CoolImpact emerges as a leader in green startup Southeast Asia, tackling hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) hidden in chillers.

super-pollutant mitigation Asia HFC-based CDR startup is not just another environmental solution provider. It’s a refrigerant management innovator that transforms cooling waste into carbon assets. By addressing potent refrigerants, CoolImpact unlocks durable carbon removal in the Global South, aligning with the global HFC phase-down goals.

The Invisible Threat: Super-Pollutants Driving Climate Change

refrigerant carbon credits To appreciate SLCP mitigation, we must first understand the problem. HFCs are climate accelerants used in air conditioners, with a global warming potential (GWP) exponentially worse than CO₂. As high-impact pollutants, they cause rapid warming despite their shorter atmospheric lifespan. In Southeast Asia, uncontrolled disposal is widespread, accelerating global warming.

green startup Southeast AsiaVietnam generates huge volumes of F-gases annually from cold storage. Most are disposed of carelessly, undermining sustainable development goals. super-pollutant control offers immediate environmental impact, making it a urgent need for climate tech Vietnam.

CoolImpact’s Solution: From Capture to Verified Carbon Credits

just transition carbon creditsCoolImpact Vietnam offers a innovative solution by intercepting HFCs at the source. Partnering with cooling system workers, CoolImpact recovers gases into certified tanks, tracked via the mobile tracking tool. These gases are then processed responsibly, with validation through digital MRV systems.

This HFC-based CDR approach generates climate assets for global markets. Unlike renewable energy credits, CoolImpact’s model focuses on eliminating super-pollutants, offering immediate impact. The MRV carbon platform ensures transparency with features like real-time tracking.

A field test in Ho Chi Minh City (July 2025) proved scalable execution, moving it into reality. By fostering a community carbon credit platform, CoolImpact empowers local workers, aligning social impact with climate action.

Business Model: Monetizing Climate Action

CoolImpact Vietnam employs a sustainable business model:

1. Collection costs from end-users.
2. Carbon offset profit sharing with technicians.
3. Carbon verification platform for other environmental programs.

By 2025, CoolImpact aims to grow impact across key urban centers, recovering significant refrigerant volumes. By 2027, ESG API integration will enhance the tracking ecosystem. Long-term, global scaling targets large-scale carbon offsets by 2030, alongside 3,000 tons of HFCs recovered.

Impact Metrics and Broader Impact

Broader impacts include:

1. Improved worker safety.
2. Empowered workers through carbon income.
3. Green jobs created in recovery.

By turning cooling waste into carbon assets, CoolImpact supports a equitable climate model.
