The application of two waste products - iron ochre and methane - to generate two useful products - hydrogen and a magnetic carbon-containing composite - has been demonstrated. Furthermore, the ochre has been shown to comprise tubular morphology extra-cellular biogenic iron oxide which may be of interest in terms of other applications. © 2014 The Authors.
