It says the coal has to be processed? And what happens to the by product?

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.

The article literally answers this:

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.

Man imagine how much meth you could buy by stealing one of these catalytic converters
