Revolutionizing Climate Action: CoolImpact Vietnam’s Breakthrough Approach to HFC Recovery in Vietnam

cooling and carbon startup As climate disasters intensify—devastating floods engulfing communities, the urgency for game-changing environmental strategies 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 “race toward climate disaster.” Amid this crisis, HFC recovery startup emerges as a pioneer in green startup Southeast Asia, tackling hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) hidden in air conditioners.

cooling waste carbon asset HFC-based CDR startup is not just another sustainable venture. It’s a SLCP startup that transforms refrigerant waste into climate value. By addressing potent refrigerants, CoolImpact unlocks long-lasting climate benefits in the Southeast Asia, aligning with the global HFC phase-down goals.

The Invisible Threat: Refrigerants Driving Climate Change

verified carbon credits To appreciate SLCP mitigation, we must first understand the problem. Fluorinated gases are warming agents used in chillers, with a global warming potential (GWP) far more damaging than CO₂. As Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs), they cause rapid warming despite their shorter atmospheric lifespan. In Vietnam, uncontrolled disposal is widespread, undermining climate goals.

CoolimpactVietnam generates thousands of tons of F-gases annually from air conditioning units. Most are released into the atmosphere, undermining sustainable development goals. refrigerant management offers rapid climate benefits, making it a priority for sustainable development.

CoolImpact’s Innovation: From Capture to Verified Carbon Credits

super-pollutant mitigation AsiaHFC recovery startup offers a robust solution by capturing refrigerants at the source. Partnering with HVAC technicians, CoolImpact recovers gases into certified tanks, tracked via the digital MRV platform. These gases are then processed responsibly, with validation through transparent tracking.

This durable carbon removal approach generates climate assets for global markets. Unlike traditional carbon projects, CoolImpact carbon removal focuses on stopping leaks, offering high-value offsets. The tracking technology ensures transparency with features like real-time tracking.

A real-world pilot in Ho Chi Minh City (July 2025) proved scalable execution, moving it toward scalability. By fostering a technician-driven solution, CoolImpact empowers local workers, aligning economic benefits with environmental goals.

Business Model: Scaling Impact

first CDR startup in Vietnam employs a innovative business model:

1. Service charges from end-users.
2. Credit-based incentives with partners.
3. Carbon verification platform for other carbon projects.

By 2025, SLCP startup aims to expand operations across five provinces, recovering significant refrigerant volumes. By 2027, ESG API integration will enhance the digital MRV startup. Long-term, cross-border impact targets 1 million tCO₂e avoided by 2030, alongside 15+ developing nations served.

Impact Metrics and Co-Benefits

HFC recovery startup Each unit of refrigerant captured avoids substantial warming impact. For example, small-scale recovery equates to measurable carbon offsets. CoolImpact’s vision includes global impact by 2035, alongside 5,000 green jobs.

Social value include:

1. Safer refrigerant handling.
2. Motivated communities through economic benefits.
3. Green jobs created in recovery.

By turning HFCs into offsets, CoolImpact supports a community-driven carbon market.
