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.

    This isn’t margarine. Margarine is made from hydrogenated vegetable oil. This process allegedly creates the same hydrocarbon chain fatty acids found in butter.

      what it’s made from is utterly and completely irrelevant, both margarine and butter are primarily just fat. My point is that i don’t see how you can replicate the precise flavour of butter with only fat.
