A California-based biotechnology startup has officially launched the world’s first commercially available butter made entirely from carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and oxygen, eliminating the need for traditional agriculture or animal farming. Savor, backed by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates through his Breakthrough Energy Ventures fund, announced the commercial release of its animal- and plant-free butter after three years of development.
The revolutionary product uses a proprietary thermochemical process that transforms carbon dioxide captured from the air, hydrogen from water, and methane into fat molecules chemically identical to those found in dairy butter. According to the company, the process creates fatty acids by heating these gases under controlled temperature and pressure conditions, then combining them with glycerol to form triglycerides.
This is interesting…
Lab grown meat have problem where they cannot create fat. So if this works, maybe this is the solution.
That doesn’t sound appetizing… Lol.
Sounds like more of an actual air fryer. Maybe they can cook stuff in fatty gas rather than dropping it in oil.
I would like to propose you eat my gas
“Eat my gas” should be their slogan.
