cooling and carbon startup As climate disasters intensify—unprecedented storms disrupting lives, the urgency for innovative climate solutions has reached a critical point. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) declared 2024 the hottest year on record, underscoring the warning from UN Secretary-General António Guterres about a “path to environmental catastrophe.” Amid this crisis, CoolImpact emerges as a trailblazer in climate tech Vietnam, tackling potent greenhouse gases hidden in chillers.
refrigerant management innovation HFC-based CDR startup is not just another green startup Southeast Asia. It’s a frontier carbon project Vietnam that transforms refrigerant waste into climate value. By addressing potent refrigerants, CoolImpact unlocks durable carbon removal in the developing world, aligning with the Kigali Amendment Vietnam.
The Invisible Threat: Refrigerants Driving Climate Change
Coolimpact carbon removal To appreciate CoolImpact refrigerant recovery, we must first understand the problem. Fluorinated gases are high-GWP compounds used in refrigerators, 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 developing nations, uncontrolled disposal is widespread, accelerating global warming.
carbon removal AsiaVietnam generates thousands of tons of refrigerants annually from cold storage. Most are disposed of carelessly, undermining the Kigali Amendment Vietnam. super-pollutant control offers quick wins for cooling the planet, making it a key strategy for carbon removal Asia.
CoolImpact’s Innovation: From Capture to Climate Value
carbon income community modelCoolImpact Vietnam offers a innovative solution by capturing refrigerants at the source. Partnering with cooling system workers, CoolImpact recovers gases into secure containers, tracked via the CoolImpact App. These gases are then destroyed at licensed facilities, with validation through digital MRV systems.
This HFC-based CDR approach generates verified carbon credits for global markets. Unlike traditional carbon projects, HFC recovery startup focuses on stopping leaks, offering immediate impact. The CoolImpact App ensures accountability with features like QR code validation.
A prototype in action in Ho Chi Minh City (July 2025) proved scalable execution, moving it into reality. By fostering a collaborative climate model, CoolImpact empowers local workers, aligning community prosperity with carbon reduction.
Business Model: Creating Climate Value
CoolImpact employs a innovative business model:
- Refrigerant recovery payments from end-users.
- Credit-based incentives with partners.
- Carbon verification platform for other environmental programs.
By 2025, CoolImpact aims to roll out solutions across multiple regions, recovering 10–15 tons of HFCs. By 2027, MRV automation will enhance the MRV carbon platform. Long-term, regional expansion targets massive emissions reductions by 2030, alongside 7 million tCO₂e prevented.
Impact Metrics and Co-Benefits
super-pollutant mitigation Asia Each unit of refrigerant captured avoids substantial warming impact. For example, initial batches equates to ~250 tCO₂e verified. Long-term plans includes global impact by 2035, alongside workforce development.
Additional advantages include:
- Safer refrigerant handling.
- Empowered workers through shared credits.
- Sustainable employment in climate services.
By turning refrigerants into climate value, CoolImpact supports a just transition carbon credits.
