Denatured Ethanol

Posted by Greg Castillo on January 2, 2010

A Renewable Energy Source

Ethanol is 100 percent alcohol and is mainly produced by the fermentation of sugars in potatoes, bananas, sugarcane and beetroot. Producers of ethanol, which to avoid human consumption cannot be solid in its purest form, denature ethanol with various substances. Primarily done for resale purposes, denatured ethanol is composed completely of biological products that form a neutral ecological balance that burns clean in the form of heat, steam, and carbon dioxide.

A Stylish Green Fireplace

Posted by Greg Castillo on December 26, 2009

Fire – the Oldest & Most Inefficient Form of Heat

Though fire is mankind’s oldest form of heat, it isn’t the most efficient and certainly not the cleanest. Your traditional masonry fireplace is actually the least effective way to heat a room. In addition, burning wood creates air pollution both inside your house and outside, and most of the heat ends up escaping straight up the chimney.
