The origin of methane and light hydrocarbons (HCs) in natural fluids from serpentinization has commonly been attributed to the abiotic reduction of oxidized carbon by H2 through Fischer-Tropsch-type (FTT) reactions. Multiple experimental serpentinization studies attempted to identify the parameters that control the abiotic production of H2, CH4, an...
Serpentinization refers to the hydrothermal alteration of ultramafic rocks (e.g. peridotite) in which ferromagnesian silicate minerals react with water to dominantly precipitate serpentine and (hydr)oxides while producing hydrogen (H2). In natural systems, various amounts of methane (CH4) and other reduced carbon compounds are also observed in flui...
