About bioethanol
Bioethanol is a clean, plant-based fuel for modern fireplaces that provides real flames without installation.
Our Story
The story of Le Feu is built on true passion and many years of experience, which has led to the creation of an innovative product suited to today’s market. For generations, the Lauritsen family has worked with fireplaces and wood-burning stoves, making the fireplace the heart and gathering point of Danish homes.
As the third generation, Søren Lauritsen has naturally been part of this “warm universe,” where he learned the craft as a young boy and discovered the world of fireplaces in his grandfather’s shop.
How Bioethanol is Produced
Preparation of Biomass
The biomass is shredded and mixed with water and steam to form a thick mass, making the larger plant components easier to process.
Enzymatic Breakdown
Enzymes break down plant cells and convert cellulose into dextrose, a natural sugar that is essential for bioethanol production.
Fermentation
Yeast and natural bacteria are added to the sugar-rich mixture, where the sugar is naturally converted into ethanol (alcohol) and CO₂. The mixture contains around 10% alcohol and forms the basis for the pure bioethanol used in your fireplace.
Why is purity important?
Bioethanol is at the core of the entire experience.
A fuel with a purity level of 95 to 97% plays a crucial role in overall performance. It affects flame clarity and stability, ensures even heat distribution, and enables clean and odor-free combustion. In addition, high-quality bioethanol helps protect the fireplace components, supports long-term operational reliability, and extends the lifespan.

Safety Instructions
Smoking is prohibited. For use only in a well-ventilated area. Keep away from open flames and sources of sparks. Use only approved bioethanol. Never refill when the fireplace is hot or a flame is present; wait at least 30 minutes until it has cooled down. Never pour fuel onto a flame or a hot burner. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Storage and Handling of Spills
Store in the original, sealed, and child-resistant packaging, away from heat and open flames. In case of spills, wipe them up immediately and allow vapors to dissipate before lighting the fireplace. See the label and manual for first aid and full safety instructions.
Note: Please be aware that bioethanol must be stored in accordance with the applicable guidelines and legislation in the buyer’s country.
