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.”
