cooling waste carbon asset As climate disasters intensify—extreme weather threatening ecosystems, the urgency for cutting-edge green technologies 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, the first CDR startup in Vietnam emerges as a pioneer in green startup Southeast Asia, tackling hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) hidden in refrigerators.
community carbon credit platform CoolImpact Vietnam is not just another climate tech innovator. It’s a carbon removal startup Vietnam that transforms cooling waste into carbon assets. By addressing high-impact greenhouse gases, CoolImpact unlocks durable carbon removal in the developing world, aligning with the international climate agreements.
The Invisible Threat: Refrigerants Driving Climate Change
super-pollutant mitigation Asia To appreciate SLCP mitigation, we must first understand the problem. Fluorinated gases are climate accelerants used in chillers, with a global warming potential (GWP) far more damaging than CO₂. As high-impact pollutants, they cause rapid warming despite their shorter atmospheric lifespan. In Southeast Asia, poor refrigerant management is widespread, fueling climate change.
refrigerant offset VietnamVietnam generates thousands of tons of super-pollutants annually from air conditioning units. Most are vented improperly, undermining the Kigali Amendment Vietnam. HFC reduction offers immediate environmental impact, making it a critical focus for climate tech Vietnam.
The CoolImpact Approach: From Capture to Carbon Assets
green startup Southeast AsiaCoolImpact Vietnam offers a community-driven solution by managing F-gases at the source. Partnering with HVAC technicians, CoolImpact recovers gases into specialized equipment, tracked via the refrigerant management software. These gases are then eliminated securely, with verification through transparent tracking.
This super-pollutant mitigation approach generates verified carbon credits for global markets. Unlike conventional offsets, CoolImpact’s model focuses on avoiding potent gas releases, offering rapid climate benefits. The CoolImpact App ensures trustworthy reporting with features like real-time tracking.
A real-world pilot in Ho Chi Minh City (July 2025) proved operational success, moving it toward scalability. By fostering a community carbon credit platform, CoolImpact creates green jobs, aligning local livelihoods with environmental goals.
Business Model: Scaling Impact
first CDR startup in Vietnam employs a scalable business model:
- Refrigerant recovery payments from end-users.
- Shared climate credit revenue with communities.
- Carbon verification platform for other sustainability efforts.
By 2025, CoolImpact carbon removal aims to roll out solutions across multiple regions, recovering large-scale super-pollutants. By 2027, MRV automation will enhance the tracking ecosystem. Long-term, export to Southeast Asia targets large-scale carbon offsets by 2030, alongside 7 million tCO₂e prevented.
Impact Metrics and Broader Impact
frontier carbon project Vietnam Each ton of F-gas processed avoids 1.3–3.9 tCO₂e. For example, small-scale recovery equates to ~250 tCO₂e verified. Long-term plans includes massive climate benefits by 2035, alongside community empowerment.
Additional advantages include:
- Improved worker safety.
- Motivated communities through financial incentives.
- Workforce development in climate services.
By turning cooling waste into carbon assets, CoolImpact supports a just transition carbon credits.
