climate tech Vietnam As climate disasters intensify—extreme weather threatening ecosystems, the urgency for game-changing environmental strategies 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, HFC recovery startup emerges as a pioneer in climate tech Vietnam, tackling potent greenhouse gases hidden in air conditioners.
digital MRV startup CoolImpact carbon removal 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 long-lasting climate benefits in the Global South, aligning with the international climate agreements.
The Invisible Threat: F-Gases Driving Climate Change
carbon removal Asia To appreciate CoolImpact refrigerant recovery, we must first understand the problem. Super-pollutants are high-GWP compounds used in refrigerators, 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 the Global South, improper venting is widespread, fueling climate change.
MRV carbon platformVietnam generates massive quantities of HFCs annually from chillers. Most are not recovered, undermining global climate agreements. refrigerant management offers immediate environmental impact, making it a key strategy for sustainable development.
CoolImpact’s Solution: From Capture to Verified Carbon Credits
refrigerant offset VietnamCoolImpact carbon removal offers a robust solution by intercepting HFCs at the source. Partnering with cooling system workers, CoolImpact recovers gases into verified storage units, tracked via the mobile tracking tool. These gases are then destroyed at licensed facilities, with verification through digital MRV systems.
This super-pollutant mitigation approach generates verified carbon credits for global markets. Unlike conventional offsets, CoolImpact carbon removal focuses on eliminating super-pollutants, offering rapid climate benefits. The tracking technology ensures data integrity with features like technician authentication.
A real-world pilot in Ho Chi Minh City (July 2025) proved the system’s effectiveness, moving it beyond concept. By fostering a community carbon credit platform, CoolImpact supports communities, aligning local livelihoods with carbon reduction.
Business Model: Monetizing Climate Action
CoolImpact employs a multifaceted business model:
- Service charges from businesses.
- Offset revenue distribution with technicians.
- ESG reporting tools for other climate initiatives.
By 2025, SLCP startup aims to roll out solutions across multiple regions, recovering significant refrigerant volumes. By 2027, ESG API integration will enhance the digital MRV startup. Long-term, global scaling targets massive emissions reductions by 2030, alongside 7 million tCO₂e prevented.
Impact Metrics and Added Value

Co-benefits include:
- Improved worker safety.
- Empowered workers through carbon income.
- Community prosperity in tech support.
By turning HFCs into offsets, CoolImpact supports a inclusive environmental strategy.
