The Claim
Liquid hydrocarbon products generated by a Raney cobalt catalyst during Fischer–Tropsch synthesis must undergo additional upgrading processes to be suitable for use as fuels or fuel fractions.
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.
The oily stuff made by a special cobalt catalyst in a chemical process isn't ready to use as gas or diesel yet—it needs to be cleaned up or tweaked first.
See the scientific wording
The liquid hydrocarbon products from a Raney cobalt catalyst in Fischer–Tropsch synthesis require further upgrading to be usable as fuels or fuel fractions.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Fischer–Tropsch synthesis using active cobalt catalyst
The scientists made fuel-like liquids using a special cobalt catalyst, but they said these liquids aren’t ready to use in cars yet — they need more processing first. This matches exactly what the claim says.
