      abstract = {Addressing CO2 emissions is a challenge that every sector  of society must rise to and overcome. Unlike the commercial  sector, the Royal Navy are both owners and operators of  both their ships AND ports, and therefore have an  opportunity to deliver a coherent approach to tackling  these challenges. Portsmouth, together with the other 2 UK  Naval Bases in Plymouth and Scotland, are the largest  consumers of energy in defence with highly similar outputs  and therefore in a unique position to deliver the greatest  benefits. The paper with outline the existing approach to  new ship programmes together with how their support base is  being adapted. It will look ahead to the changing  operational demands and predictions of how the National  energy provision could be derived in the future.  Constraints will be discussed, be they technical, fiscal,  or societal, so that the real challenges are identified and  options to address them developed. It will signpost to  opportunities for closer collaboration with industry, local  authorities and academia. It will also note the role of  Central and other government departments in encouraging the  necessary approaches and a potential for international  engagement. An argument for addressing the range of issues  will be matured into an example of a holistic solution for  a complex military dockyard. The expected findings of the  paper will describe how an organisation’s investment  approval process should acknowledge the cost of carbon  reduction, rather than just the fiscal advantages.  Individual options will be critiqued, identifying the  benefits and limitations. These will be combined into an  indicative overall solution suite that, with the right  motivations and what an organisation chooses to value,  could be delivered as a coherent decarbonisation  programme.},
