The welfare unit 1 comprises a self-contained cabin comprising a hydrogen boiler. The unit may house one or more hydrogen tanks, and have a hydrogen fuel cell. The boiler and fuel cell may be connected to a common hydrogen supply. The unit may comprise at least one battery which is charged by the fuel cell and a renewable energy source such as solar panels 23. The unit may have a circuit to which the fuel cell, renewable source and battery are connected. The fuel cells and battery may directly power electrical devices connected to the circuit. A control means may monitor the charge level of the battery and real-time power demand from the circuit, and control the supply of power from the fuel cell. The control means may switch on the fuel cell automatically when the charge level of the battery drops below a predetermined value and real-time power demand from the electric circuit is above a predetermined value. A sensor may automatically activate an electric light when a user enters the cabin, and deactivate the light when they leave. The boiler may provide hot water to a radiator, sink, or shower. The boiler provides zero emission heating.
