Savor is a food tech startup using a thermochemical process to convert carbon dioxide and methane from industrial sources into lipids. This carbon-based butter alternative is currently being tested by high end bakeries and restaurants in the Bay Area to replace dairy fats in pastries and chocolates. The company claims its process generates 67% fewer emissions per calorie than traditional unsalted butter. By sourcing carbon inbounds from landfills and factories, Savor aims to reduce the environmental impact of the dairy industry while providing a functional alternative for professional chefs.
