The purpose of the work was to find out if there is such a chemical process or reaction that could replace fossil fuels. The introduction tackles with the properties of three currently existing energy sources and chemical reactions, which serve as a theoretical foundation for the determination of general properties of energy sources and reaction conditions. The plan of the experimental part was to define the specifications of an ideal energy source, characterize the main properties of an ideal energy source and then to assess the importance of each main property so that they may be examined systematically. Five main properties were characterized. At the second property the development was stopped because it was evaluated that a reaction that would fulfil the requirements of the second property did not exist. During the development, alternative ways of handling chemical properties were presented, where emphasis was made on the integration of renewable energy sources and optimization of existing industrial processes.
