Bill Gates-Backed Company Is Now Producing Butter Made from Carbon

EXCERPT:

MOLINA (voice-over): "Another reason they say this makes an impact: no palm oil, a significant contributor to deforestation and climate change. That’s not all. Of the 51 billion tons of greenhouse gases emitted every year, 7% is from the production of fats and oils from animals and plants. So when could you get a taste yourself? Right now, they’re working directly with restaurants, bakeries and food suppliers, releasing these chocolates made with their butter in time for the holidays."

ALEXANDER: "Saver butter in either its current manifestation or with our partners, we expect that to be on the shelves kind of more like around 2027."

MOLINA (voice-over): "Their teams here in Batavia, Illinois, and their home lab based in San Jose, California, backed by Bill Gates, who wrote in his blog: 'The idea of switching to lab-made fats and oils may seem strange at first, but their potential to significantly reduce our carbon footprint is immense,' believing butter can make a difference."

ALEXANDER: "This is really about how we feed our species and heal our planet at the same time."
