🗣 American startup Savor has created vegan butter literally from air—carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and oxygen. The butter tastes like regular butter—Bill Gates tried it and called it delicious. 🌿 In addition to dairy-free butter, Savor is preparing to release similar ice cream, cheese, and milk. Their products will have a smaller carbon footprint than their animal-based counterparts. 🌱 Savor stated that its products will have a substantially lower carbon footprint compared to animal-based alternatives. The "butter" produced by Savor emits less than 0.8g CO2 equivalent per kg, whereas traditional unsalted butter with 80% fat typically has a carbon footprint of 16.9kg CO2 equivalent per kg. However, the butter may not be on the shelves anytime soon. Kathleen Alexander, Savor’s chief executive, said, “We are currently pre-commercial and working through regulatory approval to be able to sell our butter.
