One of the biggest end-user of CO2 is the fossil fuel industry, blowing CO2 into well to extract more fossil fuel .... Will OP make sure their product is not used to extract more fossil fuels?

What's the problem with producing oil and gas with the CO2?

When the CO2 gets left behind in a reservoir, it's still a net positive for the environment. There are even oil companies aiming to produce 'carbon-neutral oil' [0].

Yes absolutely. We're not going to use our CO2 to extract more fossil fuels - we're only going to work with end users (like concrete producers) that permanently sequester it.
