Best Answer

The energy comes from the gas which is usually a hydrocarbon fuel. The fuel produces heat energy when it burns with oxygen in the air.

The burning process releases chemical potential energy in the carbon. Carbon dioxide is produced and the carbon-oxygen chemical bonds in the carbon dioxide release heat when they are formed.

Most of the carbon in the gas was originally taken from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by the action of plants. With the Sun's heat the plants separated out the carbon and oxygen, which resulted in stored energy, and that is the energy that runs the gas stove.
