About Bioethanol

What is BioEthanol

Bioethanol is a pure alcohol (ethanol) produced in a sustainable way from biomass such as wheat,

maize, sugar cane, sugar beet and even sometimes from surplus wine. Bioethanol is a denatured

alcohol which is not suitable for human consumption.

The term ‘bio’ is applied because the combustion of bioethanol is considered to be Carbon Neutral.

Using bioethanol as a fuel releases the same amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere as

the plant has absorbed in its growth cycle. Bioethanol is seen as an environmentally friendly carbon

neutral alternative to fossil fuels such as oil or gas and it is definitely the greener option.

Bioethanol production is also minimally harmful to the environment and works in a simple way. Once

fermented, the ethanol can be burned to produce a flame and heat. It is one of the quickest and

hassle free ways of installing a real flame fire in the home.

Using bioethanol as a fuel is completely safe. Bioethanol burns cleanly. No smoke, no soot and no

dangerous gasses such as Carbon Monoxide (CO) are released. When burning bioethanol only water

vapour and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) are produced. This is exactly the same as what we exhale every

minute of our lives.

Yes it is. As explained above there are no harmful emissions, soot or smoke from burning bioethanol

and therefore no chimney is required. Bioethanol Fires are truly the flexible option with a real flame

that can be installed anywhere.
