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.

Idk, every vegan butter I've ever had (4 different ones now) taste like the crappy diner butter that comes in a little paper boat with the thin paper film over the top. It's fine I guess, but "butter" is overstating what is really just a barely spreadable, low taste spread.
