A recent study by CE Delft found that cultivated meat produced at scale using renewable  energy could reduce the carbon footprint by 92%, land use by 90%, and water use by 66%  compared to conventional beef production. According to the authors: “CM [cultivated meat]  has the potential to have a lower environmental impact than ambitious conventional meat  benchmarks, for most environmental indicators, most clearly agricultural land use, air pollution,  and nitrogen-related emissions. The carbon footprint is substantially lower than that of beef.  How it compares to chicken and pork depends on energy mixes. While CM production and its  upstream supply chain are energy-intensive, using renewable energy can ensure that it is a  sustainable alternative to all conventional meats.”
