There are numerous vessels installed with Energy Saving Technologies (ESTs) and designs gaining approval-in-principle to operate with alternative fuels, whilst some are now entering service. Capitalising on the growth in emission reduction technologies in the commercial market could support navies in reducing current energy demands through installation of Energy Saving Technologies, and potentially offer routes to net zero operations via alternative fuels. This paper explores the technologies readily available that are in use in the commercial sector and how they could be applied to naval vessels. Options surrounding low carbon fuels & global availability will then be reviewed with a model for the transition of naval platforms to net zero operations. Finally, the benefits and challenges of implementing both energy saving technologies and low carbon fuels will be explored offering a holistic view of implementing them on a naval platform. 000011175 7001_ $$aAyliffe, W$$uBMT 000011175 7001_ $$aScott, B$$uBMT 000011175 773__ $$tConference Proceedings of INEC 000011175 773__ $$jINEC 2024 000011175 8564_ $$uhttps://library.imarest.org/record/11175/files/INEC_2024_paper_22.pdf$$97df28d5e-5fd3-4262-8fd7-2f365ab85e7f$$s2166807
