Pioneering Sustainable Futures: CoolImpact Carbon Removal’s Breakthrough Approach to Refrigerant Management in Vietnam

just transition carbon credits 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 trailblazer in super-pollutant mitigation Asia, tackling potent greenhouse gases hidden in air conditioners.

Coolimpact carbon removal CoolImpact is not just another green startup Southeast Asia. It’s a refrigerant management innovator that transforms refrigerant waste into climate value. By addressing potent refrigerants, CoolImpact unlocks sustainable carbon offsets in the Southeast Asia, aligning with the international climate agreements.

The Invisible Threat: F-Gases Driving Climate Change

SLCP startup To appreciate CoolImpact refrigerant recovery, 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 short-term climate forcers, they cause rapid warming despite their shorter atmospheric lifespan. In Vietnam, uncontrolled disposal is widespread, accelerating global warming.

climate tech VietnamVietnam generates huge volumes of super-pollutants annually from refrigeration systems. Most are vented improperly, undermining sustainable development goals. refrigerant management offers immediate environmental impact, making it a priority for climate tech Vietnam.

The CoolImpact Approach: From Capture to Climate Value

community carbon credit platformCoolImpact Vietnam offers a innovative solution by intercepting HFCs at the source. Partnering with HVAC technicians, CoolImpact recovers gases into secure containers, tracked via the mobile tracking tool. These gases are then eliminated securely, with certification through robust monitoring.

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 transparency with features like real-time tracking.

A practical demonstration in Ho Chi Minh City (July 2025) proved the system’s effectiveness, moving it beyond concept. By fostering a carbon income community model, CoolImpact incentivizes technicians, aligning community prosperity with environmental goals.

Business Model: Creating Climate Value

CoolImpact employs a innovative business model:

1. Refrigerant recovery payments from end-users.
2. Offset revenue distribution with partners.
3. Digital tracking subscriptions for other sustainability efforts.

By 2025, refrigerant management innovator aims to scale pilots across five provinces, recovering thousands of kilograms of F-gases. By 2027, ESG API integration will enhance the MRV carbon platform. Long-term, regional expansion targets massive emissions reductions by 2030, alongside 3,000 tons of HFCs recovered.

Impact Metrics and Added Value

Broader impacts include:

1. Reduced health risks.
2. Rewarded professionals through economic benefits.
3. Sustainable employment in tech support.

By turning cooling waste into carbon assets, CoolImpact supports a inclusive environmental strategy.
