Well, as you can tell from the first two answers, nobody can be too sure what you are trying to discuss here. So I'll give you a broad answer. Power plants that generate electricity generally burn either coal or gas, with a smaller number powered by things like wind, water, solar, and nuclear reactions (I think that covers most power plants). Some homeowners and businesses have a standby generator installed on their property, in case the main power goes out. These are typically powered by deisel, natural gas (or propane) or for very small units gasoline.

Plants that are photosynthetic do require gas. In the light they take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. In the dark, they do the opposite.
