The Fuel
The EcoSmart™ Fire is fuelled by a renewable energy source called Denatured Ethanol.
Ethanol is an absolute alcohol, produced by the fermentation of sugars originating from agricultural and forestry products; mainly sugarcane, potatoes, bananas, beetroot and recently from cereals such as wheat. In accordance with various global regulations Ethanol (100% alcohol) cannot be sold in its purest form to avoid human consumption. Ethanol producers de-nature ethanol with various substances for re-sale purposes and it is then called Denatured Ethanol.
Denatured Ethanol is completely composed of biological products resulting in a neutral ecological balance (greenhouse compliant). The combustion of Ethanol (also called Ethyl Alcohol C2H5OH) results in a clean emission: Heat, Steam and Carbon Dioxide. Denatured Ethanol burns just as clean.
The initiative of using denatured ethanol as an energy source for heating is a unique offering in the market. The EcoSmart™ burner’s technique of safely housing and burning a flammable liquid offering an open flame in a controlled environment makes them ideal for just about all contemporary environments, including apartments, houses, restaurants, bars and offices.
