Savor and Helios AI Partner to Build Resilience Into the Future of Fats

TYSONS, VA, UNITED STATES, October 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Helios AI, the first AI commodity intelligence platform bringing together climate and price forecasting, today announced a partnership with Savor, the pioneering company that creates pure, versatile and sustainable fats directly from carbon without the need for conventional agriculture. Savor will use Helios AI’s commodity intelligence to quantify climate risk across conventional fat and oil supply chains, giving its food-industry customers a clearer view of that exposure, and a way to get ahead of it.

Bringing commodity intelligence with climate risk signals baked in is central to both companies’ shared mission to increase sustainability and resilience in the food supply chain. Helios AI provides forecasting for climate, price, and supply disruption across more than 80 commodities in over 100 countries. Savor offers an alternative to traditional fats sources: fats and oils made from carbon, without animals, plants, or farmland, and so without exposure to any single growing region.

“For a long time, the cost of a chocolate bar or a croissant has depended on the weather in a handful of places most consumers will never see,” said Kathleen Alexander, cofounder and CEO of Savor. “Helios AI gives food companies an early, specific read on that exposure and our job is to give them a supply that isn’t exposed to it in the first place.”

The fats and oils behind everything from chocolate to baked goods come from a remarkably narrow slice of the planet: two countries supply roughly 87% of the world’s traded palm oil, while public outlooks from the OECD-FAO and peer-reviewed climate research indicate that sustainable cocoa land in West Africa is projected to halve by 2050. And as extreme weather patterns like El Niño take shape, they add to existing stressors and shocks to the agricultural supply chain.

For a standard food company that needs to procure fats to make its products, the fact that the supply chain contains these risks has long been a given. Now, with Helios’ intelligence, Savor can show food companies exactly how risky each commodity is by region and timeline, and offer a real alternative to reduce those risks.

“Our work is turning climate complexity into supply chain foresight, showing food companies where the system is under strain before it reaches their shelves,” added Francisco Martin-Rayo, cofounder and CEO of Helios AI. “Savor is building one of the answers to that strain. Pairing our intelligence with their approach puts the risk and the response in front of buyers in one place.”
