‘Eat fossil fuels’: Bill Gates-backed company makes butter out of thin air

Ameya Paleja of Interesting Engineering reports on a Bill Gates-backed sustainable butter startup.

The C3 Take
  • Savor is a California startup that is creating animal-free butter.
  • While dairy-free butter alternatives already exist, Savor makes its butter by pulling CO2 from the air.
  • The company has cultivated a way to make fats and oils from chain-like arrangements of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen to create a product that tastes superior to other dairy-free butter alternatives.

“Savor is confident that its technology can be used to make butter and multiple other animal-derived fats, such as milk and cheese. The company also plans to use this approach to make ice cream and edible oils.”
