High Hopes Labs has developed a patented technology involving balloons that capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. These balloons are capable of reaching altitudes where CO2 is naturally found in a frozen state. They work by collecting this frozen CO2, separating the carbon as it passes through a payload mechanism at high altitudes, and then returning to the ground where the carbon can be processed further.

High Hopes Labs Climate Tech relevance
Man-made greenhouse gasses emissions add more than 25,000,000,000 tons to the atmosphere each year.
High Hopes Lab leverages the fact that it is easier to separate carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in colder places. Carbon capture methods at high altitudes thus work more effectively, and the continuous strong winds allow for a constant supply of CO2 to be captured.
