The Fischer-Tropsch reaction converts hydrogen and carbon monoxide into various hydrocarbons:
- 'n' is any positive number.
Catalysts for this reaction include iron, cobalt, ruthenium, and nickel.
Hydrogen can be obtained from water through electrolysis. Carbon monoxide is available through the Reverse Water-Gas Shift Reaction.
