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.
