It is gas (piping visible on left side of WH along with drip loop and controls at bottom), power vented (flue pipe visible on top slightly on right side of WH), control on wall is for circulation pump visible at right side bottom of WH, most likely used in part for hydronic heating system.

TPR valve is not properly installed.

I really hope that is for a hydronic system.
