refrigerant carbon credits As climate disasters intensify—devastating floods engulfing communities, the urgency for sustainable action plans 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 “highway to climate hell.” Amid this crisis, the first CDR startup in Vietnam emerges as a pioneer in carbon removal Asia, tackling hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) hidden in cooling systems.
MRV carbon platform CoolImpact is not just another environmental solution provider. It’s a refrigerant management innovator that transforms super-pollutants into actionable solutions. By addressing high-impact greenhouse gases, CoolImpact unlocks sustainable carbon offsets in the Global South, aligning with the international climate agreements.
The Invisible Threat: Refrigerants Driving Climate Change
refrigerant offset Vietnam To appreciate CoolImpact refrigerant recovery, we must first understand the problem. Fluorinated gases 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 the Global South, poor refrigerant management is widespread, accelerating global warming.
SLCP startupVietnam generates thousands of tons of super-pollutants annually from chillers. Most are disposed of carelessly, undermining Vietnam’s net-zero commitments. HFC reduction offers fast-acting solutions, making it a urgent need for global climate action.
CoolImpact’s Solution: From Capture to Verified Carbon Credits
MRV carbon platformCoolImpact Vietnam offers a innovative solution by managing F-gases at the source. Partnering with local service providers, CoolImpact recovers gases into secure containers, tracked via the refrigerant management software. These gases are then processed responsibly, with certification through MRV protocols.
This HFC-based CDR approach generates climate assets for global markets. Unlike conventional offsets, HFC recovery startup focuses on avoiding potent gas releases, offering rapid climate benefits. The MRV carbon platform ensures accountability with features like geo-tagged data.
A practical demonstration in Ho Chi Minh City (July 2025) proved the system’s effectiveness, moving it into reality. By fostering a carbon income community model, CoolImpact incentivizes technicians, aligning social impact with carbon reduction.
Business Model: Turning Waste into Wealth
CoolImpact Vietnam employs a sustainable business model:
- Refrigerant recovery payments from clients.
- Credit-based incentives with technicians.
- ESG reporting tools for other environmental programs.
By 2025, CoolImpact aims to expand operations 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 massive emissions reductions by 2030, alongside 15+ developing nations served.
Impact Metrics and Co-Benefits

Social value include:
- Enhanced technician protections.
- Rewarded professionals through shared credits.
- Community prosperity in climate services.
By turning HFCs into offsets, CoolImpact supports a just transition carbon credits.
