Bioethanol fuel is a renewable resource that's composed of yeast, plant sugars and water. It's a greener alternative to fossil fuels like petroleum or coal since it makes use of modern biochemical processes instead of geological ones. It is also healthier for the environment as it creates more oxygen and produces less CO2. Biofuels can be made from organic and non-organic substances, but the most popular is agricultural waste.

Safety

Bioethanol fireplaces provide an eco-friendly and safe alternative to traditional wood and gas fires. They produce real flames but they burn cleanly, without smoke or particulates. They also emit only water vapour and a tiny amount of carbon dioxide. This is the same CO2 taken in by the plants used to make the fuel, and causes less harm to the environment.

It is essential to adhere to all safety and usage instructions provided by the manufacturer when using a bio-fireplace. You should never add fuel to a fire that is burning until it is completely out of flame. This is because bioethanol could splash or spill and cause a fireball that could set nearby flammable objects to catch fire.

It is also recommended to keep flammable items and children away from the fire, as the slightest breeze could send the fuel into flames. Keep the fuel in an area that is secure and away from children or pets. If you have any questions or concerns it is best to contact the manufacturer.
