nope. hydrogen for ammonia comes from steam reforming natural gas and thus generates a lot of emmissions. the haber process is incredibly energy intensive (those pesky n2 triple bonds and all). all you've done, as in most 'fuel switch' schemes is create a 'displaced emmissions' system. this also goes for electricity by the way unless, and a big unless, you source emmission free electricity. personally, i like his idea.
Of course electricity production needs to come from zero carbon sources or else there'd be no point. I just think this system is the best because it involves doing the least.
