Bioethanol is a form of renewable energy that derives from crops such as potato and sugar cane. Ethanol is a clear liquid and is odourlesswhen burning.
By encouraging the use of bioethanol fuel, the rural economy would receive a boost from the necessary crops required to product the fuel. Bioethanol is biodegradable and far less toxic than using fossil fuels. Another benefit is the absorption of greenhouse gas emissions (CO2) – the emissions from burning the fuel are (in effect) absorbed by the crops needed to create the fuel.
There are many advantages to using bio ethanol fires. Bioethanol itself is virtually odourless and leaves no soot deposit. Only small amounts of water vapour and CO2 are emitted. Our burner absorbs the fuel and burns from the vapours as they evaporate. Only a certain amount of vapour can escape at any one time and therefore keep the flames at a safe level and will not react violently to a gust of wind (like other fires). The absorption by the ceramic stone means that the burner is virtually spill-proof, so in the unlikely event that the burner was tipped or knocked over, the fuel would stay inside the burner. Because of this, Bio Ethanol is one of the safest fires available and is the only burner with a TUVGS safety approval.
