Since primordial nucleosynthesis produced only three elements - H, He, and Li - it is widely accepted that the earliest stars must have formed from the gravitational collapse of couds rich in H and He, and the thermonuclear fusion that now dominates the Sun's energy output (the formation of He from H in the proton-proton chain) was also the way that these early stars produced their energy.

Hydrogen.

A star is a fusion reactor which CREATES Helium by fusing Hydrogen atoms together. The energy (light) comes from the release of excess energy when the atoms are fused together.

Hydrogen and Helium, like the closest star to Earth, the Sun.
