The idea, says Daniel Codd , a researcher in renewable energy systems at the University of California, San Diego, is to store solar-produced heat in rock formations below the surface, creating a solar-charged geothermal resource in which heat is stored for meaningful durations. But we can still reduce the carbon [cost] of that oil.”

The US Department of Energy has selected 13 projects for investment of up to $62 million over five years to research, develop, and demonstrate Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) systems capable of providing low-cost electrical power. Using reflective mirrors, the sun’s radiation will heat a liquid salt within each receiver.
