Convert Oil Wells to Solve the Solar Storage Problem

Cars That Think

Thermal energy storage is a known low-cost, low-risk approach for storing solar energy in the form of heat,” adds Codd. This system results in a lower capital cost and a lower levelized cost of energy compared to other CSP technologies, he adds. But we can still reduce the carbon [cost] of that oil.”
