Eco-awareness drives demand for ethanol-fuelled fireplaces
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- It's the time of year people give more thought to heating, particularly to the costs and the impact of gas and wood-burning fireplaces on the environment. Which is where ethanol fireplaces come to the fore.
Stephane Thomas, Director of MAD Design USA and creator of EcoSmart Fire, a pioneer of the ethanol fire industry, says ethanol fuel "is a smarter choice for so many reasons."
"We've seen a significant increase in demand for EcoSmart Fires from designers, homeowners and commercial operators – as much as for the design flexibility as for the environmentally-friendly credentials," says Thomas.
Ethanol is a liquid alcohol. It's better for the environment because it's a sustainable energy source, is clean-burning, and the small amount of odorless CO² it produces – the same CO² that's in the air we breathe – is reabsorbed by plants. Unlike wood and gas, when ethanol burns it doesn't produce any smoke, soot, ash or unpleasant odors. That means ventless ethanol fireplaces don't require a chimney flue or vent (which suck out heated air with the smoke), nor costly connection to gas or electricity."
EcoSmart Fire's e-NRG ethanol is made sustainably using the fermented starches and sugars from plants, such as corn and sugarcane, which ensures the cleanest fuel and the lowest odor. "We call the process 'from farm to fireplace,'" says Thomas.
"And as ethanol fireplaces are an eco-friendly heating option, they are the perfect solution for New York city residents, who are banned from installing new wood-burning fireplaces as part of the Mayor's clean air initiative, a ban that may extend to other states due to the increasing concerns for the environment."
EcoSmart Fire has a wide variety of clean-lined ethanol fires designed to complement any indoor or outdoor area, whether residential, commercial, or retail.
