Bill Gates-backed startup makes ‘butter’ out of water and carbon dioxide (www.zmescience.com)

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.

Interesting way to get fat alternatives, people are already used to eating fake butter regularly, so it probably wouldn't take much to add this to our diet.

It’s also closer to butter than butter alternatives. It’s not made to be more healthy, just more planet friendly.
