Effects of energy transition on the fireplace industry
The focus on CO2 reduction and cleaner air has effects on the fireplace industry. For example, traditional stoves (wood-fired, natural gas and pallet) must comply with the EcoDesign Directive. The EcoDesign 2022 is an initiative of the European Union to reduce (harmful) emissions from fireplaces and stoves. These are minimum requirements regarding energy efficiency and reusability (eco-design requirements). Manufacturers are required to reduce energy consumption and other negative environmental impacts of products at the design stage. This improves product quality and it protects the environment. The goal is to phase out “old and polluting wood-burning stoves and fireplaces.
What is the alternative to gas or wood firing?
The alternative to wood burning or fossil natural gas is renewable energy. Think of large offshore wind farms, solar panels, geothermal energy (heat from deep earth layers) and residual heat from industry. Surplus wind energy can be converted to green (hydrogen) gas. Biogas can be made from manure and sewage sludge. Prunings and waste wood that have no other use can serve as biofuel. Of course, we are not there yet, but the energy transition is in full swing.
Our fireplaces burn on sustainable bioethanol liquid and/or electricity (LED, LCD, hologram and water vapor). Bioethanol is a natural liquid made from crops such as grain (wheat, barley and rye), sugar beets, corn, potatoes, sugarcane and vegetable residues. Bioethanol is known for lower carbon dioxide emissions and, as a soot-free fire source, does not require a drain. CO2 emissions from our fireplaces are minimal and therefore do not require a flue in a home or room. This makes our fireplaces suitable for any home.
Our technology in which combustion is based on ethanol vapors creates a solution with remarkably clean emissions; no ash, soot or other harmful substances are released. Because there is no negative effect on the climate, our fireplaces fall under the CO2-neutral category. And we think that’s important. Read more at https://luxuryfires.com/klimaatbijdrage/.
