When I searched Google Scholar, I found this 2016 report from their first 350 kilowatt pilot plant at the University of Birmingham:

That pilot project claimed less than 25% efficiency, but the authors seemed confident efficiency could be raised. A 5 megawatt demonstration plant has been running in the UK since 2018:

I presume that the 0.35 MW and 5 MW projects worked reasonably well if they are now trying to develop a 50 MW project.
