Most typically waste energy takes the form of heat.
The main type of energy wasted from a gas fire is thermal energy, which is lost through radiation, convection, and incomplete combustion. This wasted energy contributes to inefficiency and can result in higher energy costs and environmental impact.
During energy transformations, the type of energy produced is often heat energy, which is considered as wasted energy. This is because not all of the energy input is converted into useful forms such as mechanical or electrical energy, resulting in the release of heat as a byproduct.
Useful energy is energy that can be converted to any other type of energy. Wasted energy is no longer available to be converted - usually because it got spread out too much, or because it got converted to heat. Heat can be partially, but not completely, converted to other types of energy.
Heat energy is always produced when energy changes form, due to the inherent inefficiencies in energy conversion processes. This is known as the law of conservation of energy, where the total energy in a closed system remains constant but can change forms.
It is difficult to provide an exact number as it depends on the type of energy source and how it was used. However, it is estimated that a significant amount of energy is wasted globally every year due to inefficiencies in energy production, distribution, and consumption. Efforts to improve energy efficiency and conservation can help reduce this waste.

thermal, light and sound
The situation really depends on the specific type of energy transfer. However, it is quite common that most of the wasted energy is converted into heat energy.

electrical/chemical to sounds(useful energy) and heat(wasted energy)
The idea here is that part of the original energy is wasted - converted to an unusable type of energy.
Heat energy is always produced when energy changes form, due to the inherent inefficiencies in energy conversion processes. This is known as the law of conservation of energy, where the total energy in a closed system remains constant but can change forms.
