New Scientist<\/a>: Analysis finds the carbon footprint of cultivated meat is likely to be higher than beef if current production methods are scaled up because they are still highly energy-intensive. Cultivated meat is made by growing muscle tissue from stem cells. Meat produced from cultured cells could be 25 times worse for the climate than regular beef unless scientists find ways to overhaul energy-intensive steps in its production.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lab-grown or \u201ccultivated\u201d meat<\/a> is made by growing animal stem cells around a scaffold in a nutrient-rich broth. It has been proposed as a kinder and greener alternative to traditional meat because it uses less land, feed, water and antibiotics than animal farming and removes the need to farm and slaughter livestock, \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you think "lab meat" would come with lower emissions than real meat, think again.
Well on the contrary: according to a new cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment, its impact would be orders of magnitude higher (4-25x !!) than median beef production.https:\/\/t.co\/Vo3kdwEI45<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/183BQAtD9G<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/eaZdkIBVBG<\/a><\/p>— Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Leroy (@fleroy1974) May 9, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote>
