The Claim
Fischer-Tropsch-type reactions occurring under hydrothermal conditions can produce lipid molecules with carbon chain lengths ranging from C2 to greater than C35, including saturated hydrocarbons, unsaturated hydrocarbons, and oxygenated derivatives.
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.
Under hot, watery conditions similar to those deep under the ocean, certain chemical reactions can make oily molecules similar to those found in living things — from very small ones to really big ones, including both plain oils and oils with oxygen in them.
See the scientific wording
Fischer-Tropsch-type reactions under hydrothermal conditions can generate lipid molecules spanning a wide carbon range (C2 to >C35), including saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons and oxygenated derivatives.
