Leading the Charge Against Climate Change: CoolImpact’s Breakthrough Approach to HFC Recovery in Vietnam

digital MRV 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 “race toward climate disaster.” Amid this crisis, CoolImpact emerges as a game-changer in green startup Southeast Asia, tackling potent greenhouse gases hidden in cooling systems.

By addressing potent refrigerants, CoolImpact unlocks sustainable carbon offsets in the Global South, aligning with the global HFC phase-down goals.

The Invisible Threat: Super-Pollutants Driving Climate Change

HFC-based CDR To appreciate CoolImpact refrigerant recovery, we must first understand the problem. HFCs are climate accelerants used in cooling systems, with a global warming potential (GWP) far more damaging than CO₂. As short-term climate forcers, they cause rapid warming despite their shorter atmospheric lifespan. In the Global South, improper venting is widespread, accelerating global warming.

CDR MRVVietnam generates significant amounts of F-gases annually from cold storage. Most are vented improperly, undermining Vietnam’s net-zero commitments. super-pollutant control offers quick wins for cooling the planet, making it a urgent need for sustainable development.

The CoolImpact Approach: From Capture to Verified Carbon Credits

Coolimpact carbon removalCoolImpact carbon removal offers a robust solution by managing F-gases at the source. Partnering with local service providers, CoolImpact recovers gases into verified storage units, tracked via the refrigerant management software. These gases are then eliminated securely, with validation through transparent tracking.

This super-pollutant mitigation approach generates climate assets for global markets. Unlike traditional carbon projects, CoolImpact carbon removal focuses on eliminating super-pollutants, offering durable solutions. The tracking technology ensures accountability with features like QR code validation.

A prototype in action in Ho Chi Minh City (July 2025) proved operational success, moving it to proven results. By fostering a community carbon credit platform, CoolImpact creates green jobs, aligning local livelihoods with sustainability.

Business Model: Scaling Impact

CoolImpact Vietnam employs a multifaceted business model:

1. Service charges from businesses.
2. Carbon offset profit sharing with communities.
3. ESG reporting tools for other climate initiatives.

By 2025, refrigerant management innovator aims to scale pilots across key urban centers, recovering 10–15 tons of HFCs. By 2027, MRV automation will enhance the climate tech infrastructure. Long-term, cross-border impact targets massive emissions reductions by 2030, alongside 3,000 tons of HFCs recovered.

Impact Metrics and Community Benefits

Social value include:

1. Improved worker safety.
2. Rewarded professionals through economic benefits.
3. Green jobs created in climate services.

By turning HFCs into offsets, CoolImpact supports a inclusive environmental strategy.
