Low energy trajectories are achieved by making use of gravity as much as possible, using the natural dynamics arising from the presence of a third body (or more bodies). The term "low-energy" is used to refer to the low fuel and therefore low energy required to control the trajectory from a given starting condition to a targeted final condition.
