Burning natural gas releases the energy.

No. The safe and proper application of FireCrystals is in fully vented, fireplace (open to room air and vented through the roof) with a gas supply of preferably natural gas, although propane can be adapted with the proper hardware. Exceptions may apply.
If you do not vent a natural gas water heater, anytime of the year, CO and CO2 will build up in your home. Anytime you are burning anything indoors you will need to vent the product. The only exception are 'ventless' heaters/fireplaces/ect. If you use a ventless system make sure you spend money on a CO and CO2 monitor. (Not a bad idea anyway when burning anything indoors.) I think that is what you are asking?
A gas fireplace is a great way to go because they can be turned on with a flick of a button and don't produce the soot that a wood burning fireplace does. Also they are widely available and can be cutomized to fit your design style.
Ventless fireplaces require less maintenance than real ones, and they also are usually electric or based on a gel-like fuel. Top brands such as "Real Flame" or "Vermont Castings" have a good reputation for quality products.

Fireplace ash is generated as a natural byproduct of burning wood. Especially with a long burning fire with several large logs, you can be left with a large quantity of ash in your fireplace. For cleanliness and safety, it's important to remove the buildup of fireplace ash. You can do something as simple as having an ash bucket next to your fireplace to scoop out the extra ashes periodically. Another option is to have an ash vacuum to clean out all the ashes. I'll share a link to a nice ash bucket and fireplace vacuum below.
