A company in Batavia, Illinois is making butter in a way you've never seen before. No animals, no plants, no oils; this butter is made from carbon.
The sustainability-focused approach has the blessing and backing of Bill Gates.
It looks, smells and tastes like the butter we all know, but it's made without the farmland, fertilizers or emissions tied to the typical process.
This unprecedented process is happening at the facilities of Savor in an industrial park in the suburbs west of Chicago.
"So you're using this gas right now to cook your food and we're proposing that we would like to first make your food with— with that gas," said Kathleen Alexander, co-founder and CEO of Savor.
The company's pioneering tech uses carbon and hydrogen to make sticks of butter that anyone would recognize.
"This is pretty novel, to be able to make food that looks and tastes and feels exactly like dairy butter, but with no agriculture whatsoever," said Jordan Beiden-Charles, food scientist for Savor.
And without a long ingredient list the average person can't pronounce.
"It's really just our fat, some water, a little bit of lecithin as an emulsifier, and some natural flavor and color," Beiden-Charles said.
This is how it works: Fats are made up of carbon and hydrogen chains. The goal is to replicate those chains without animals or plants. And they did it.
To put it in simple terms, Savor says they take carbon dioxide from the air and hydrogen from water, heat them up, oxidize them and get a final result that looks like candle wax but is in fact fat molecules like those in beef, cheese or vegetable oils.

Not a chance in you-know-where that this substance will pass my lips!
My father told me that a German immigrant who settled in Utah’s coal country made several products from coal, one was butter. I thought that he was possibly remembering incorrectly, turns out he was likely correct.
No he’ll no and no fn way,
Go far away Billy gates
With Gates involved the very first question that needs to be asked is what was slipped into this crap that will cause infertility, because that is the recurring theme in Gates backed enterprises.
No thanks. They said the same things about margarine.
I’ll let ‘ole Bessy supply me with the real deal.
Margarine 2.0
Except worse for you.
No thanks!
My feelings exactly.
I will bet $1000 that your digestive system and body don’t process and handle it the same way it handles butter.
These people can kiss my ass.

the first synthetic food was coal “butter” invented in 1937 and used by the Nazi’s to feed their U-boat crews.
Good for frying your fake meat in it.
Way to “butter up” the argument. *grin*
> In the video in the background you can see a tank that says “slop water”. <
That’s probably the low-calorie “butter”.

Ultra-processed food doesn’t start with food and add something to it, it starts with chemicals. I really grasped this when I read the example of ‘butter’ made for the Nazi regime in the 1938. Two scientists at the Kaiswer Willhelm Institute found a way to create fuel from coal. It left a waste product: paraffin. A man called Arthur Imhausen was working on turning that waste paraffin into soap, when he realised that chemically soap is a lot like fat. By adding glycerine the scientists could produce an edible fat instead of soap. The trouble was this fat was white, tasteless and waxy, so nobody in their right minds would have eaten it. A easy problem to fix if you’re a chemist: they added diacetyl to create a buttery taste, salt and beta-carotene for colour and created the first ever totally synthetic food. Now lots of right minded people eat all sorts of ‘butter products’ happy that those industrially manipulated chemicals make it magically spread straight from the fridge. Top tip: do what your grandmother did, buy real butter and keep it in a butter dish in the cupboard.
I'm so confused. I thought "fossil fuels" were bad. We really do need the wise people in government to sort this all out.
Did I miss something, or does the article contain NO information on nutritional values?
I promise it ain’t Anchor or Presidente
No. Just no.
Butter henge?
I think you could label this organic and non gmo..................................
