cooling and carbon startup 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, CoolImpact Vietnam emerges as a trailblazer in green startup Southeast Asia, tackling super-pollutants hidden in air conditioners.
carbon removal startup Vietnam CoolImpact Vietnam is not just another green startup Southeast Asia. It’s a SLCP startup that transforms super-pollutants into actionable solutions. By addressing Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs), CoolImpact unlocks measurable environmental impact in the Global South, aligning with the global HFC phase-down goals.
The Invisible Threat: HFCs Driving Climate Change
CDR MRV To appreciate SLCP mitigation, we must first understand the problem. HFCs are high-GWP compounds used in air conditioners, with a global warming potential (GWP) 1,000–3,900 times greater than CO₂. As Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs), they cause rapid warming despite their shorter atmospheric lifespan. In developing nations, negligent handling is widespread, fueling climate change.
refrigerant offset VietnamVietnam generates massive quantities of super-pollutants annually from chillers. Most are disposed of carelessly, undermining global climate agreements. refrigerant management offers fast-acting solutions, making it a priority for carbon removal Asia.
Refrigerant Recovery Redefined: From Capture to Carbon Assets
cooling waste carbon assetCoolImpact Vietnam offers a innovative solution by intercepting HFCs at the source. Partnering with local service providers, CoolImpact recovers gases into secure containers, tracked via the refrigerant management software. These gases are then eliminated securely, with reporting through MRV protocols.
This super-pollutant mitigation approach generates climate assets for global markets. Unlike forestry offsets, HFC recovery startup focuses on avoiding potent gas releases, offering high-value offsets. The tracking technology ensures accountability with features like technician authentication.
A field test in Ho Chi Minh City (July 2025) proved operational success, moving it into reality. By fostering a collaborative climate model, CoolImpact creates green jobs, aligning local livelihoods with climate action.
Business Model: Scaling Impact
CoolImpact Vietnam employs a innovative business model:
- Refrigerant recovery payments from businesses.
- Credit-based incentives with stakeholders.
- MRV-as-a-Service for other carbon projects.
By 2025, refrigerant management innovator aims to grow impact across strategic areas, recovering 10–15 tons of HFCs. By 2027, MRV automation will enhance the climate tech infrastructure. Long-term, cross-border impact targets large-scale carbon offsets by 2030, alongside 3,000 tons of HFCs recovered.
Impact Metrics and Broader Impact
Kigali Amendment Vietnam Each ton of F-gas processed avoids 1.3–3.9 tCO₂e. For example, early projects equates to ~250 tCO₂e verified. CoolImpact’s vision includes massive climate benefits by 2035, alongside economic opportunities.
Additional advantages include:
- Enhanced technician protections.
- Incentivized technicians through economic benefits.
- Community prosperity in tech support.
By turning cooling waste into carbon assets, CoolImpact supports a equitable climate model.
