My kneejerk reaction is that that's probably self-solving. Like, you only need so much food-grade carbon dioxide, so you only have so many facilities capturing it from power plants or whatever rather than just dumping it into the atmosphere. Makes no sense to increase capture if there's no demand. But if supply falls off, then it makes sense to capture from more sources of carbon dioxide.

Huh. Apparently the brewing industry is actually a source of food-grade carbon dioxide, not a consumer.

Well brewed beer shouldn't need additional carbonation, it's not a soft drink. They need it as they're making shit beer at a massive mark up as "craft".
It's needed for purging tanks to avoid oxidation, pressurisation, moving it through lines etc, not necessarily carbonation.
