Climate, energy, and food security are three of the most important global challenges society faces during the twenty-first century. For example, BECCS [BioEnergy with Carbon Capture and Storage] has been proposed as the primary method for achieving negative CO 2 emissions while simultaneously producing renewable energy on a global scale.
