Imagine butter: not from cows, but from air. `Backed by Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates, it’s churned out by a California startup called Savor,’ they say.

Moreover, Savor has been tirelessly propelling dairy-free versions of ice cream, cheese, and milk. With mainstream alternatives in the mix, they use something known as thermochemical, combining carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and oxygen to construct fat molecules. The latest invention is a new form of butter produced without any animals.

Giving up meat and eating less dairy is one of the best ways, really, to help the environment. Raising animals for food produces a lot of greenhouse gases. Savor claims their new butter has a much lower carbon footprint than regular butter, with the new “air butter” producing less than 0.8 grams of CO2 per kilogram, compared with regular butter that creates about 16.9 kilograms of CO2 per kilogram.

Kathleen Alexander, CEO of Savor, adds that “currently, we are at the very early stages of working through all the requisite approvals to sell our butter, with an optimistic goal to be on the shelves by 2025.”

People have been reaching for alternatives to meat and dairy, and some of those products just don’t taste right. Savor believes their butter tastes just right. “We’ve had small taste tests with many people,” Alexander said. “We plan to do a bigger test before we start selling.

The big question is whether people will buy this new kind of butter. Getting people to switch from their favorite dairy products to new, experimental foods can be tricky.

In a web post, Bill Gates, one of the project’s advocates, wrote: ” Our lab-made fats and oils sound strange, sure, at first to envision. But they can really help reduce our carbon footprint. Proven technology makes this both delicious and hopefully something that will get us closer to our climate goals. The process doesn’t release greenhouse gases, uses no farmland, and needs very little water compared to traditional farming. And the best part is, it tastes great – just like the real thing because, chemically, it is.”

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimates that all farming related to dairy and meat production is responsible for 14.5% of man-made greenhouse gas emissions across the globe. In other words, changes in our diet can really make a difference in the way we interact with the environment.

In other words, Savor’s new air-forged butter is possibly a game-changer. It tastes just like its regular counterpart but is much easier on the planet. This new approach might be the key to a better future: delicious food that doesn’t harm the environment. So, Would You Try Butter Made From Air?
