Electricity generation in subsurface provides the heat requirement for retorting. In EPICC, waste heat from a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) placed in the subsurface is transferred via conduction to a geologic formation containing oil shale. Excess gas can be sent to a combined cycle gas turbine to produce additional electricity.
