Higher percentage bioethanol fuel burns faster and hotter, and not all fireplaces are made for this. Bioethanol simply means ethanol created from biomass. S a renewable energy source produced from the fermentation of starch and sugars in plants.
Bioethanol is a highly versatile product that can be used in multiple applications such as for transport fuel or in generating power. The primary method of producing bioethanol involves the fermentation of sugar, extracted from crops such as maize, wheat, corn and even from some types of trees.
The starch and sugars from these plants are broken down using acids or enzymes, before being fermented to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide. Because this carbon dioxide has come from a carbon neutral source, namely plant crops, this makes it a cleaner and more eco-friendly option as opposed to using fossil fuels. The produced ethanol is then sometimes distilled if its water content is too high. How much you need depends on several factors. Each bioethanol burner is different and so each burner uses a different amount of ethanol.Another factor that is very determined in terms of consumption is the way the fire is used. A decisive factor in how much is burned is of course how much goes into the burner. Most common fireplaces have a capacity from 0,5 to 5 litres. Of course, there are also fireplaces that are smaller or larger.
An ethanol fire with a capacity of 5 litres will also burn 5 litres of ethanol when used. So you should be aware that the higher the capacity of the fireplace, the more it usually consumes.
