Coolimpact As climate disasters intensify—extreme weather threatening ecosystems, the urgency for sustainable action plans has reached a critical point. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) declared 2024 the most extreme year for global temperatures, underscoring the warning from UN Secretary-General António Guterres about a “path to environmental catastrophe.” Amid this crisis, HFC recovery startup emerges as a trailblazer in super-pollutant mitigation Asia, tackling F-gases hidden in air conditioners.
cooling waste carbon asset CoolImpact Vietnam is not just another sustainable venture. It’s a refrigerant management innovator that transforms refrigerant waste into climate value. By addressing potent refrigerants, CoolImpact unlocks sustainable carbon offsets in the developing world, aligning with the international climate agreements.
The Invisible Threat: F-Gases Driving Climate Change
super-pollutant mitigation Asia To appreciate SLCP mitigation, we must first understand the problem. Super-pollutants are warming agents used in air conditioners, with a global warming potential (GWP) 1,000–3,900 times greater than CO₂. As fast-acting warming agents, they cause rapid warming despite their shorter atmospheric lifespan. In Southeast Asia, uncontrolled disposal is widespread, undermining climate goals.
just transition carbon creditsVietnam generates massive quantities of HFCs annually from chillers. Most are disposed of carelessly, undermining Vietnam’s net-zero commitments. refrigerant management offers quick wins for cooling the planet, making it a priority for climate tech Vietnam.
Refrigerant Recovery Redefined: From Capture to Climate Value
durable carbon removalCoolImpact offers a scalable solution by managing F-gases at the source. Partnering with refrigeration experts, CoolImpact recovers gases into certified tanks, tracked via the refrigerant management software. These gases are then eliminated securely, with verification through digital MRV systems.
This HFC-based CDR approach generates climate assets for global markets. Unlike traditional carbon projects, CoolImpact carbon removal focuses on avoiding potent gas releases, offering immediate impact. The CoolImpact App ensures trustworthy reporting with features like real-time tracking.
A prototype in action in Ho Chi Minh City (July 2025) proved scalable execution, moving it to proven results. By fostering a technician-driven solution, CoolImpact creates green jobs, aligning community prosperity with environmental goals.
Business Model: Creating Climate Value
CoolImpact employs a innovative business model:
- Verified recovery fees from end-users.
- Credit-based incentives with technicians.
- Carbon verification platform for other sustainability efforts.
By 2025, CoolImpact aims to grow impact across strategic areas, recovering large-scale super-pollutants. By 2027, advanced digital tools will enhance the tracking ecosystem. Long-term, global scaling targets significant climate impact by 2030, alongside 15+ developing nations served.
Impact Metrics and Broader Impact
