  • Edited to give a real answer~ Gases can/do store energy and that energy can be harnessed via chemical reactions like burning. A “calorie” technically speaking is short hand for the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius. You’ve probably heard the term BTU before too, same thing but much bigger. A BTU (British thermal unit) is the energy it takes to raise one pound of water one degree F. Whether or not a person can absorb that energy is a different matter all together. I have no idea about the nutrition side of it all. But, yeah, sure, calories can be stored in gaseous elements.
