At the anode outlet, the high-purity carbon dioxide generated by the reaction is captured in situ and catalytically converted into valuable chemical feedstocks such as synthesis gas or mineralised into compounds like sodium bicarbonate.
The article was a little scarce in info, but from what I understood from looking it up (not much), since the byproduct is pure CO2 and O2, you can just use it to make stuff that other industries use. This is not unlike how fermentation to produce methanol produces a lot of CO2 that we use for other stuff.
It says the coal has to be processed? And what happens to the by product?
The article literally answers this:
Ah sorry, my brain glossed over that when I read it.
Man imagine how much meth you could buy by stealing one of these catalytic converters

Thank you for the break down. I don’t think the article really stuck when I read it.
