This reminds me a bit of single cell protein, a technology that is also driven by fossil fuel chemical energy. It was used to make animal feed, but ended up being uncompetitive. Technologies like this are ways to monetize stranded natural gas that would otherwise be flared. It's in competition with other means of using that gas or getting that gas to market (ammonia, methanol, electrical energy, LNG, etc.) Eventually they could make this from captured CO2 and green hydrogen, but that's clearly not competitive with cheap gas (without CO2 charges) at this point.
