1. An apparatus comprising:
a combustion mechanism configured to enact a combustion process to convert input fuel to energy in a form that can be used by a downstream consumer;
a storage module comprising a storage controller circuit configured to establish a first ratio of total volumes of hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) obtained from an electrolysis process to be stored in respective pressurized storage vessels of a fuel storage pod adjacent the combustion mechanism, the first ratio selected by the storage controller circuit in relation to a predicted demand of the combustion mechanism for a first mixture of the H2 and the O2 in proportions corresponding to the first ratio; and
a blend module connected to the fuel storage pod, the blend module comprising a blend controller circuit configured to adjust the first ratio to a different, second ratio in response to an imminent demand of the combustion mechanism, the blend module outputting a flow of the input fuel to the combustion mechanism at a different, second mixture of the H2 and the O2 from the fuel storage pod in proportions corresponding to the second ratio selected in relation to at least one combustion process parameter.
