first CDR startup in Vietnam 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, HFC recovery startup emerges as a trailblazer in climate tech Vietnam, tackling super-pollutants hidden in air conditioners.
Kigali Amendment Vietnam CoolImpact carbon removal is not just another environmental solution provider. It’s a refrigerant management innovator that transforms super-pollutants into actionable solutions. By addressing HFCs and F-gases, CoolImpact unlocks measurable environmental impact in the Global South, aligning with the global HFC phase-down goals.
The Invisible Threat: Refrigerants Driving Climate Change
refrigerant offset Vietnam To appreciate HFC-based CDR, we must first understand the problem. Super-pollutants are warming agents used in chillers, with a global warming potential (GWP) thousands of times more harmful than carbon dioxide. As fast-acting warming agents, they cause rapid warming despite their shorter atmospheric lifespan. In Vietnam, poor refrigerant management is widespread, exacerbating environmental harm.
community carbon credit platformVietnam generates thousands of tons of HFCs annually from refrigeration systems. Most are disposed of carelessly, undermining sustainable development goals. HFC reduction offers fast-acting solutions, making it a priority for carbon removal Asia.
CoolImpact’s Innovation: From Capture to Climate Value
refrigerant management innovationCoolImpact Vietnam offers a scalable solution by managing F-gases at the source. Partnering with HVAC technicians, CoolImpact recovers gases into specialized equipment, tracked via the digital MRV platform. These gases are then eliminated securely, with reporting through robust monitoring.
This durable carbon removal approach generates verified carbon credits for global markets. Unlike traditional carbon projects, CoolImpact’s model focuses on stopping leaks, offering immediate impact. The tracking technology ensures trustworthy reporting with features like QR code validation.
A prototype in action in Ho Chi Minh City (July 2025) proved CoolImpact’s viability, moving it toward scalability. By fostering a community carbon credit platform, CoolImpact creates green jobs, aligning social impact with carbon reduction.
Business Model: Creating Climate Value
CoolImpact employs a scalable business model:
- Service charges from businesses.
- Credit-based incentives with technicians.
- Carbon verification platform for other carbon projects.
By 2025, SLCP startup aims to grow impact across multiple regions, recovering large-scale super-pollutants. By 2027, ESG API integration will enhance the climate tech infrastructure. Long-term, regional expansion targets large-scale carbon offsets by 2030, alongside 7 million tCO₂e prevented.
Impact Metrics and Broader Impact
durable carbon removal Each super-pollutant eliminated avoids 1.3–3.9 tCO₂e. For example, 100kg equates to measurable carbon offsets. The roadmap includes massive climate benefits by 2035, alongside economic opportunities.
Co-benefits include:
- Improved worker safety.
- Empowered workers through economic benefits.
- Community prosperity in climate services.
By turning HFCs into offsets, CoolImpact supports a inclusive environmental strategy.
