Scientists have achieved their goal. The innovative product is promoted by Bill Gates himself.

The research team has created a product from air and water that looks and tastes like butter, not just butter. The idea is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. The initiative is backed by billionaire Bill Gates.

Scientists Create Butter From Water And Air

The product was invented by a startup called Savor, backed by billionaire Bill Gates and operated under the auspices of Orca Sciences.

They finally developed a process [firma Savor – przyp. red.]“Which involves taking carbon dioxide from the air and hydrogen from water, heating them up and oxidizing them to cause fatty acids to separate and form fats. The result is real fat molecules like those we get from milk, cheese, beef and vegetable oils. The process releases no greenhouse gases, uses no agricultural land and uses less than one-thousandth the water that conventional agriculture uses. Most importantly, it tastes really good,” Bill Gates wrote in his blog.

He said in a previous statement that the product tastes like real butter.

Bill Gates’ new project. It’s about reducing carbon emissions.

Bill Gates and his collaborating scientists make no secret that the idea of ​​making food using biochemistry is aimed at making us eat more environmentally friendly. Producing a butter-like substance does not require the greenhouse gas emissions that occur during the production of agricultural products.

Savor’s team reported that conventional production of animal fats generates between 1 and 3 grams of carbon dioxide per thousand calories, while in the lab the same amounts of fat can be produced with emissions of less than one gram of carbon dioxide.

“Synthesizing food molecules on a large scale without agricultural raw materials is very possible,” said Stephen Davis, lead author of the study, quoted by IFL Science.

The team is currently working on solving a pressing problem. They need to make the production of such artificial foods more profitable and cheaper than traditional products.
