I’m sure the CO2 output will go down over time, considering how new the technology is, relatively speaking.
When you think about how much water and feed is required to make a substantially smaller portion of meat, then this technology is highly likely to undercut the CO2 emissions of traditional meat production once it’s done on a large enough scale, considering that, at least based on what I’ve seen, the main expenditure of resources is just a pure nutrient solution, with the rest being electricity to generally operate the machinery, and maintain temperature (and of course, we’ve seen many advancements in heat pump-like technology in recent years making it insanely efficient at maintaining heat for a fraction of the electricity it traditionally costs.)
