Bill Gates-backed startup makes 'butter' out of water and carbon dioxide

To make this alternative butter, you don't need land, livestock, or crops.

A California-based startup called Savor has figured out a unique way to make a butter alternative that doesn’t involve livestock, plants, or even displacing land. Their butter is produced from synthetic fat made using carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and the best part is —- it tastes just like regular butter.

    Yeah, use it as an industrial lubricant or turn it into soap. We don’t need to eat that. Let’s not eat that.

      Reducing dairy production will reduce methane emissions.

      “I’ve tasted Savor’s products, and I couldn’t believe I wasn’t eating real butter. It tastes really good—like the real thing, because chemically it is.” Bill Gates recently wrote in his blog post.

      Comments like yours have a real “I will not eat those CHEMICALS” vibe to it. People like you are a bit hilarious seeing as it’s all chemicals.

        I’m a little sceptical because of the hard margarine fiasco. If this is truly chemically identical, then great, that’s an impressive feat.
