On November 22, 2024, the grand finale of the Net Zero Challenge 2024 took place in Ho Chi Minh City, bringing together the top 9 outstanding teams selected from more than 500 applications across 55 countries and territories. The competition serves as an international platform to seek innovative solutions toward carbon neutrality (Net Zero), while encouraging the application of green technologies across all sectors.
Notably, RARE Toles, the only representative team from Vietnam, made a strong impression at the competition with its roof cooling coating solution. The product helps save up to 30% of energy consumption while significantly reducing CO₂ emissions, contributing to the green transition. This technology is based on advanced coating materials with high solar reflectance, which reduces roof surface temperature and delivers energy-saving efficiency for both residential and industrial buildings.
This innovative solution brought RARE Toles into the Top 3 in the “Renewable Energy and Carbon Neutrality” category—one of the most prestigious categories of the competition. The team’s success not only demonstrates the creativity and technological capability of Vietnam but also opens opportunities to bring “Make in Vietnam” products to the global market.
According to the judges, the RARE solution not only meets practical implementation requirements but also delivers long-term socio-economic sustainability. In the context of climate change becoming a critical global issue, RARE’s cooling paint technology is expected to become a strategic solution supporting countries in achieving Net Zero targets by 2050.
The inspiring journey of RARE Toles at Net Zero 2024 is a testament to continuous efforts in contributing to environmental protection and sustainable development. It also serves as a call to action for businesses and individuals to join hands in applying green technologies to build a carbon-free future.
