Apologies folks, I had not realised that there was a paywall.
Ainarssems. You are spot on, perfect reasoning.
They are replicating photosynthesis, and that starts with CO2 end ends with.... many possible products, including ammonia and hydrogen.
This is very early days research and will, like most such, probably come to nothing. But if can be economically scaled up, the results will be world changing.
