The energy is released to enzymes that span the membrane and the enzymes use the energy that is released to pump protons across the membrane to form a region with a high concentration of protons. This establishes a proton gradient since the membrane is impermeable to protons. Proton gradients can then be used for other metabolic activities, such as in chemiosmosis.

During what does most energy release in the mitochondria?

The majority of energy within the mitochondria is released during the process of cellular respiration, specifically during the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation. This is where the majority of ATP, the cell's primary energy source, is produced.
