BIOETHANOL
a refined & sustainable choice
bioethanol - a sustainable fuel for bio fireplaces
Bioethanol is a clean and renewable fuel produced from natural, plant-based materials such as corn, sugarcane, or other forms of biomass. When burned, it releases only heat, water vapour, and a minimal amount of carbon dioxide – entirely free from smoke, soot, or ash. This makes bioethanol one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly ways to enjoy real flames indoors, offering both warmth and ambience without the use of fossil fuels or the need for complex ventilation systems.
At Decoflame, we harness the clean combustion of bioethanol as an efficient and sustainable energy source in our bio fireplaces. When bioethanol burns, it produces neither smoke nor residue, allowing for a genuine flame experience without the requirement of a chimney or flue. In this way, bioethanol unites modern design, comfort, and environmental responsibility in one elegant solution for contemporary living spaces.
Bioethanol also provides pleasant warmth and a vibrant flame that adds atmosphere and cosiness to any setting. As no installation or ventilation is required, a bio fireplace can easily be integrated into private homes, offices, or hotels. The use of bioethanol makes it possible to enjoy an authentic fire experience all year round – flexible, safe, and environmentally conscious.

EFFICIENT & safe functionality
As bioethanol burns cleanly and efficiently, our fireplaces require no chimney, flue, or costly ventilation systems. All the heat generated stays within the room, making them both energy-efficient and easy to install. The absence of soot or ash also means maintenance is minimal – allowing you to enjoy the beauty of the flames without the inconvenience typically associated with traditional fireplaces.
At the same time, bio fireplaces offer remarkable flexibility in interior design. They can be placed almost anywhere – in the living room, bedroom, bathroom, or even on the terrace – with no need for permanent installation. This makes it easy to adapt the design and placement to individual preferences and spatial layouts, whether you choose a freestanding model, a wall-mounted version, or a fireplace seamlessly integrated into furniture or architectural elements. Bio fireplaces elegantly combine functionality, freedom, and aesthetics in one refined solution.
Storage and Handling
Bioethanol is classified as a flammable Class 1B liquid and is therefore subject to strict international safety standards. To ensure proper and safe handling, bioethanol should always be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heaters, and open flames.
Containers must be kept tightly sealed and stored upright to prevent leakage or evaporation. Always keep bioethanol out of reach of children and pets, and never refill the fireplace while it is hot or in operation. Any spilled fuel should be wiped up immediately with a dry cloth, and the area should be thoroughly ventilated before relighting the fireplace.
With proper storage and responsible handling, both user safety and the longevity of the fireplace are ensured – providing a clean, safe, and enjoyable experience every time.
a conscious choice
A carbon-neutral energy cycle aligns perfectly with today’s focus on sustainability and environmental responsibility. When used as fuel in Decoflame fireplaces, bioethanol creates a gentle warmth that beautifully combines aesthetics, comfort, and ecological awareness.
Unlike traditional fuels that emit harmful particles or pollutants, bioethanol burns cleanly, producing only heat, water vapour, and a minimal amount of carbon dioxide. The flame is not only visually captivating but also a symbol of a more responsible and sustainable way to create ambience and warmth within the home.
Choosing a Decoflame bio fireplace is a conscious decision to care for the environment – without compromising on functionality or design. It represents a modern alternative to the classic fireplace, where elegance meets sustainability.
CONTINUOUS QUALITY ASSURANCE
At Decoflame, Danish design is combined with technical innovation and skilled craftsmanship. With many years of experience, we specialise in developing bio fireplaces that utilise bioethanol in the most efficient and safe way possible.
All fireplaces are manufactured at our factory in Vestbjerg, Denmark, where each unit undergoes thorough testing to ensure high quality, stable combustion, and long-lasting performance. The result is a reliable product where sustainable energy, aesthetics, and ease of use come together seamlessly – created to give you the best possible experience of bioethanol’s pure and natural flame.
bioethanol & decoflame fireplaces
Decoflame fireplaces are designed to perform optimally when using bioethanol with a purity between 96.5% and 97.5% – ideally 96.5%. Lower concentrations may result in unwanted odours, incomplete combustion, or, in the worst case, damage to the fireplace.
Additives such as fragrances, colourants, or oils must never be used, as they interfere with the clean burning process and may harm the burner’s system and components.
To ensure the highest level of quality and safety, we supply our own premium-grade bioethanol, refined specifically for Decoflame fireplaces. This guarantees a pure, golden flame, reliable performance, and complete peace of mind – every time you light your fireplace.
