A Bill Gates-backed start-up called Savor is developing a sustainable butter alternative, using carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and oxygen.
This process bypasses the need for traditional animal or plant-based ingredients, creating fats in a laboratory setting.
This technology aims to significantly reduce the environmental impact of butter production, specifically greenhouse gas emissions and land use.
According to various foreign based media,
It is a healthier and econmically viable option than the traditional butter extract gotten from plants and animals, it is formulated from carbon and hydrogen put together through a science factory based process.
Savor uses a thermochemical process to convert carbon dioxide, captured from the air, and hydrogen, derived from water, into fatty acids.
Sustainability:
This method significantly reduces the environmental footprint compared to traditional butter production, which relies on livestock and potentially unsustainable agricultural practices (like palm oil production).

The resulting product is said to closely mimic the taste and texture of traditional butter, making it a viable alternative for consumers.
While currently focused on butter, Savor’s technology has the potential to be applied to a wide range of fats and oils used in food production, including palm oil.
By offering a sustainable and scalable alternative, Savor aims to reduce reliance on resource-intensive agricultural practices and contribute to addressing climate change and biodiversity loss.
