Bio fuel derived from plants

Bioethanol is an alcohol produced by fermenting fruit or plants (beets, corn, and sugar beets) or materials that can be converted into sugar (grains). Bioethanol is a "biofuel" because it is made from agricultural raw materials. Bioethanol is the most widely used natural fuel in the world.

Bioethanol is the only liquid fuel that is renewable and readily available. Plants containing sugar or grains absorb large amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere during their growth through photosynthesis. These plants are then processed into bioethanol. Bioethanol is a CO2-neutral fuel. This means that the amount of CO2 released when it is burned is equal to the amount of CO2 the plants absorbed during their growth. As a result, no net additional CO2 is added to the atmosphere. Furthermore, using bioethanol reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 60% compared to fossil fuels, making it a cleaner and more environmentally friendly energy source. Bioethanol is thus a key asset and stands out as the only fuel that respects the environment.

The use of bioethanol:

Bioethanol can be used on various occasions. Most people do not know that bioethanol is primarily used with fossil fuels.

  • Up to 5% in SP95 and SP98 - E5
  • Up to 10% in SP95 - E10
  • Between 65% and 85% in E85 Super ethanol

Bioethanol is also used in decorative fireplaces. Since 2008, the market for bioethanol fireplaces has grown explosively. Bioethanol is a perfect and clean alternative to gas fireplaces and pellet stoves. Gas is a fossil fuel that needs to be reduced, and the requirements for pellet stoves are becoming stricter. The government wants to limit negative effects on our health. For example, people with asthma can be greatly affected by the combustion of wood; the particles emitted are no more or less harmful than those produced by vehicles. Bioethanol is the only environmentally friendly fuel because it is carbon-neutral and renewable.

Bioethanol in a decorative fireplace:

A bioethanol decorative fireplaced s halfway between a gas or wood-burning fireplace in terms of heating. These fireplaces burn bioethanol and can be used daily. When the bioethanol burner is lit, the flames can reach a height of about 30 centimeters. The beautiful yellow flames give the feeling and effect of a real fire without the drawbacks.

A bioethanol fireplace has many advantages. Since no chimney is necessary, the fireplace can be easily installed in an apartment, hotel, or house. Bioethanol brings real fire into your home without any drawbacks. The bioethanol fireplace ensures clean combustion without the hassle of wood. You don't have to clean your fireplace, and you don't have to worry about smoke.

Bioethanol fireplaces come in various sizes and shapes, making them easy to install. Since no chimney is needed, you save space and money. A bioethanol fireplace is easy to install, move, and can be placed on the floor, on the wall, or even built into a project of your choice.

Finally, you do not need special permission to purchase a bioethanol fireplace.

These bioethanol open fireplaces, which many call economic and practical, are experiencing growing success and undergoing controversy over safety. Of course, as is the case with any combustion device, there is the risk of burns, but also of fire. That is why Xaralyn offers bioethanol burners with ceramic stone. The bioethanol is completely absorbed by the ceramic stone, reducing the risk of fire outside the fireplace. The ceramic stone also prevents the bioethanol from flowing out of the burner. Once the burner is opened, the released gas ensures a calm, economical combustion that is up to 50% more efficient compared to other burners. Xaralyn offers the safest way for an open fire with completely clean combustion.
