Abstract

Electricity generation and use are responsible for approximately 40% of global CO2 emissions, presenting a critical challenge in the fight against climate change. As global electricity needs continue to rise, transitioning to low-carbon electricity generation becomes imperative. This paper explores Egypt's energy transition strategies, focusing on the potential of nuclear energy and renewables to achieve a sustainable, low-carbon future. By examining Egypt's current energy landscape, CO2 emissions profile, and potential energy scenario, the research highlights the strategic importance of integrating nuclear power and renewable energy sources to mitigate climate change and support economic development. Also suggest, Nuclear Fusion Power Plants and SMRs technologies as a source of electrical energy, with no CO2 or other harmful atmospheric emissions for Egypt’s industrial energy demands and water scarcity challenges, supporting sustainable development and energy.
