Analysis v1
When making fuel from gas using a special cobalt catalyst, it only makes carbon dioxide as a side effect if it gets really hot—above 280°C—because at that temperature, a different chemical reaction starts kicking in.

Fischer–Tropsch synthesis using active cobalt catalyst
Computational/Algorithm Study
Scientists tested a special cobalt catalyst to make fuel from gas, and found that it only made carbon dioxide when it got really hot—above 280°C—just like the claim said. This happens because a chemical reaction called the water-gas shift kicks in at high heat.
