Evidence layer

Claim by claim

The source study was found, but the study's evidence could not be profiled, so these claims couldn't be checked.

Claim 1 of 4Not checkedResearchers led by a team from Edith Cowan University wanted to assess how much hydrogen gas could potentially already exist underground in Western Australia and be produced there in the future.View evidenceHide evidence

Not checked

The source study was found, but this claim couldn't be checked against it.

Claim 2 of 4Not checkedThe study, published in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, found that water and magnetite produced hydrogen under laboratory conditions meant to mimic the underground environment.View evidenceHide evidence

Not checked

The source study was found, but this claim couldn't be checked against it.

Claim 3 of 4Not checkedMagnetite powder produced far more hydrogen per gram than magnetite slab samples, amounting to about five times as much.View evidenceHide evidence

As statedabout five times as much, gram for gram

Not checked

The source study was found, but this claim couldn't be checked against it.

Claim 4 of 4Not checkedThe researchers say hydrogen production depends not only on how much magnetite is present, but also on whether water can reach fresh mineral surfaces through fractures, pores, and permeable pathways.View evidenceHide evidence

Not checked

The source study was found, but this claim couldn't be checked against it.
