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.
During WW2, due to the food shortage, Germans did this using the carbon from coal… The process is old and known.

Let’s see if the process can be made more efficient this time. Allegedly, the product was virtually indistinguishable from butter.
Well it says
Doesn’t sound indistinguishable to me.
It is just regular margarine, and for me, it is inedible. Tastes like vaseline.
