Bill Gates-backed startup makes ‘butter’ out of water and carbon dioxide
To make this alternative butter, you don't need land, livestock, or crops.
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.

why do rich people want to replace any living being with a silicon version ?
Gates took billions to reinvent the cow. My guess is that Bill wants to own all that land and crops that cows eat because he is a fucking moronic hoarder.
Cattle farming methane is a massive contributor to the greenhouse effect. This process would reduce methane output as well as consume carbon dioxide, another greenhouse gas. It would help us in our fight against climate change.
Well, if it's all being sold for consumption, it would be net zero carbon change for the product itself plus whatever carbon it takes to drive production.
The main advantage is the reducing the reliance on beef.
Though I gotta wonder how much demand can go down before the price reduction makes producing the volume of beef no longer worth it and only profitable if it's scaled down because until then, they'll just lower prices to keep producing the same amount or more because you're a failure if line doesn't go up.
Cows are one of the worst things for the environment. Massive production of methane at the cost of more water and land than any other protein source. Getting rid of methane works be the quickest way to dent global warming given how much worse than carbon it is (in the near term )

Because then they can patent it.
So it's no surprise that Bill "Anti-Food-Security" Gates, the world's most famous patent racketeering parasite, has his vile little fingers in this.
Liberals fucking furiously downvoting in defense of the oligarch that personally ensured Covid vaccines would be monopolized.
They were not there when he literally stifled innovation and ruined thousands of companies and lives...
Seems his pr people have done great work over the last 20 years.
Children furiously wanting to believe the world is black and white.
Yes, you are.
