The most popular method of generating electricty is, to use a steam turbine to drive a generator.

The fuel used, is burnt to produce heat. The heat is used to make steam, by boiling water.

So gas is burnt to produce heat, which boils water to make steam, which spins a turbine connected to a generator.

Gas could also be used in an internal combustion engine, which is connected to a generator. This is normally used for small scale production, not on a national grid.
