The Claim
Under laboratory Fischer–Tropsch conditions, the gaseous products generated by a Raney cobalt catalyst are predominantly normal alkanes, with methane being the primary component.
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.
When scientists use a special cobalt sponge-like material to turn gases into fuel under lab conditions, most of the resulting gas is plain, straight-chain hydrocarbons, and the biggest part of that is methane — the same gas in your kitchen stove.

1 studyStudy: Fischer–Tropsch synthesis using active cobalt catalyst
The scientists used a special cobalt catalyst to turn gas into fuel, and they found that most of the gas produced was methane — exactly what the claim says.
