But the premise of this technology is not simply that it mitigates carbon gain in the atmosphere, but that it can actually sink away some of the carbon produced by the (vastly more significant than direct industrial uses of CO2) fossil fuel industry. If all it can do is mitigate the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere by greenhouses and beverages, then that seems so unimportant that it can't possibly be worth bothering with.

What you're describing is the end game. The CO2 for beverages is only one example of a mid-game strategy to get to the end game.

  I can't think of any real industrial uses that seem like they scale up and do not release the used CO2 into the atmosphere.
