"On the personal front, I am doing a lot more. I am driving electric cars. I have solar panels at my house. I eat synthetic meat (some of the time!). I buy green aviation fuel. I pay for direct air capture by Climeworks. I help finance electric heat pumps in low-cost housing to replace natural gas." Bill Gates wrote.

For the unversed, synthetic meat (or cultured meat) is the type of meat that is grown in a lab using animal cells instead of the slaughtered animal. One may call it cellular agriculture.
