I'm interested to know what kind of heat pump they are using to get up to molten salt temperatures. The only off-the-shelf high temp heat pumps you can find are generally supercritical CO2. To get a high temperature differential with phase change heat pumps, you typically need to use multiple stages or have a very high compression ratio (read: quite expensive compressor). The picture in the background looks like maybe a ceramic turbine?
Anyone who has any information on this, I'd be interested to hear more about the details.
