It is nuclear fusion that powers the sun and most other stars.

It converts its own mass into energy. By combining protons into helium, it squeezes some mass into energy - 4.3 billion kilograms each second. It is the famous formula E=mc^2 by Einstein which gives us the quantitative relationship between mass and energy, where c in the formula is the speed of light.
The Sun - and other stars - gets its energy from nuclear fusion. Specifically, fusing hydrogen-1, converting it into helium-4.
It produces it by nuclear fusion.
