The ethanol fireplace - the environmentally friendly alternative
A wood-burning stove is the classic way to create a cozy atmosphere in the cold season. But very few people get to enjoy a warm fireplace. The project often fails due to the lack of proper ventilation: a chimney. An ethanol fireplace is a good alternative to a conventional fireplace. The decorative fireplace requires no additional ventilation and burns without producing smoke. The manufacturer Radius Design makes use of this advantage with its Uni fireplace . The free-standing fireplace is a kind of "glass fire". The flame is well protected behind glass panes and is ventilated from above.

Economical and good for the environment
As the name suggests, an ethanol fireplace burns ethanol. The substance is poured into a combustion chamber in liquid form or as a burning gel. Ethanol fireplaces are relatively economical. In most cases, they consume less than half a liter of fuel per hour. Ethanol is a high-percentage alcohol. In contrast to the combustion of fossil fuels such as wood or coal, no pollutants are produced. An ethanol fireplace only produces hydrogen and CO². The carbon dioxide emissions are comparable to the breath of seven to eight people. For those of you who already have a fireplace but would like to use it with bioethanol, the Quadro firebox from Conmoto is the right choice. The decorative fire serves as a free-standing fireplace indoors, but can also be placed in a fireplace thanks to the large fire tray.
Rapidly renewable fuels - that's why bio-ethanol
It is not only the combustion of ethanol that is environmentally friendly, but also its production. Bioethanol is produced exclusively from environmentally friendly materials such as wine or yeast. The ethanol is produced during the fermentation of grapes or hops and is then distilled. A new trend in the production of bio-alcohol is Chinese reed. The plant can also be grown in rather uneconomical regions and also requires hardly any care. The fireplace from Carl Mertens is just as uncomplicated as the extraction of the fuel. It can be used both as an open fireplace on the floor and as a tabletop fireplace. Two superimposed stainless steel cylinders take on the function of burning logs. The cylinders have fiberglass wicks that draw the lamp oil from a small tank.
Rule number one: regular ventilation
An ethanol fireplace practically breathes with you. In other words, it produces carbon and the air in the room is "used up" more quickly. You should therefore make sure to ventilate the room thoroughly before and after use. Caution is advised at temperatures above 21 degrees. Above this temperature, ethanol can evaporate and, together with the air, create a highly flammable mixture. It is therefore important that you never leave ethanol bottles or cans of fuel paste open and that you wipe up any spilled liquid immediately.
