Abstract

The fossil fuel burning is the main culprit behind global warming 
which resulted in greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions led by 
carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, key contributor to environmental 
pollution . The rising CO2 emissions intensity and global 
warming complexities have raised the importance to focus on 
alternative energy generation options. 
The serious concerns over fossil fuel consumption, issue of 
energy security, and GHG emissions challenges have brought 
attention to clean energy sources among public and policy 
analysts as well. Clean energy options (nuclear energy and 
renewable energy) have emerged as alternate energy source and 
effective tools to combat the hazards of climate change . As a 
part of the new energy policy strategy, many countries are 
focusing on increasing the share of nuclear energy supply to 
diversify energy supply, reduce dependence on imported fossil 
fuels with volatile prices, increase energy stability and security . 
Accordingly , The current study contributes to expanding 
knowledge and starting to improve Egypt's nuclear power 
infrastructure by investigating the relationship between nuclear 
power, economic growth and CO2 emissions in the context of the 
experiences of the devastated countries such as China and South 
Korea.
