Yes it can.

Basically, N2 is found in the air. Nitrogen fixation occurs when atmospheric N2 is converted to NH3.

Not sure of the exact mechanism but I am just guessing that it uses H2 in the air, adding a ton of energy to them and breaking the bond, releasing free radical H+ that then attaches itself to the atmospheric N2... something like that.
