The Claim
A catalyst composed of Raney cobalt containing cobalt aluminate and non-stoichiometric cobalt oxides produces liquid hydrocarbons primarily consisting of paraffins, naphthenes, and aromatic hydrocarbons during Fischer–Tropsch synthesis under laboratory conditions.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Scientists used a special kind of cobalt-based sponge-like material to turn gas into liquid fuels like those in gasoline, and it made mostly three types of hydrocarbons: straight-chain molecules, ring-shaped ones, and benzene-like ones.

What the research says
1 studyStudy: Fischer–Tropsch synthesis using active cobalt catalyst
Scientists made a special cobalt-based catalyst and used it to turn gas into liquid fuel. The liquid they got was mostly the kinds of hydrocarbons the claim said it would be — paraffins, naphthenes, and aromatics — so the claim is correct.
