About
High Hopes Labs is an Israeli startup (Ramat Gan/Tel Aviv) founded by Nadav Mansdorf and Eran Oren that develops stratospheric-balloon-based direct air capture. Their balloons float to ~15 km altitude where a minibar-sized payload uses a coolant to freeze CO2 out of the air, aiming for costs in the $40-100/ton range. They hold a USPTO patent on the technology and have conducted prototype flights.
