How does bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) differ from our common practice of burning fossil fuels to generate electricity and power internal combustion engines (e.g., cars and trucks)? Choose all applicable. BECCS stores carbon in a reservoir (pool) other than the atmosphere, while the carbon emitted in the burning of fossil fuels is usually emitted into the atmospheric reservoir. In BECCS, the carbon emissions are captured and stored, while the carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels are not usually captured and stored. BECCS does not produce carbon dioxide as part of the process of generating electricity, while burning fossil fuels does produce carbon dioxide as part of the process of generating electricity. BECCS uses the primary productivity from recent times, while burning fossil fuels uses the primary productivity from millions of years ago BECCS uses the chemical potential energy generated during photosynthesis, while the common burning of fossil fuels does not use chemical potential energy generated during photosynthesis.
