Nuclear power plays a pivotal role in sustainable electricity generation and global net zero emissions, contributing significantly to this secure pathway. capacity is expected double, escalating from 413 gigawatts (GW) early 2022 812 GW by 2050 within the emissions (NZE) paradigm. The energy landscape undergoing significant transformation as nations strive transition more systems. Amidst shift, nuclear has emerged crucial component pursuit of transition. This study examines power's multifaceted shaping It delves into energy's contributions toward decarbonization efforts, highlighting its provide low-carbon potential mitigating climate change. Furthermore, explores challenges opportunities associated with integrating strategies, addressing issues such safety, waste management, public perception. In conclusion, anticipated reach approximately 530 2050, representing substantial shortfall 35% compared trajectory outlined NZE Under scenario, demonstrates exceptional expansion, nearly doubling 2050. Concurrently, highlights transformative shift renewable investments, annual expenditures surging an average US$325 billion during 2016–2020 impressive US$1.3 trillion between 2031 2035. These projections underscore critical investments achieving sustainability emission reduction goals.
