Natural gas, propane, coal, any form of petroleum product can be used to produce power. Anything that can be burned can be used to make heat and therefore heat a liquid to turn a turbine.
Generally speaking --- Hydrocarbons, when heated, burn the hydrogen off and bonding it with an oxygen - as well as the carbon bonding with oxygen. If it was just hydrogen and carbon it would be a mostly pure reaction, but other items reside in most hydrocarbons.
