Fossil fuel has played a significant role in the industrial revolution of the world but its adverse effects on global weather conditions have surpassed its benefits. Most of the developed as well as developing countries, have recognized the need to address climate change concerns and agreed to reach the target of net zero carbon emission between the period year 2050 to 2070. Fossil fuels currently account for a large portion of global energy basket. The world has to transit away from fossil fuels to emission free sources of energy in the next few decades.

The challenge is enormous and the options as of today are limited. Few of the options have limitations and cannot be the prime source serving bulk of the demand. Some options are still in development stages, and it will take considerable time before those reach maturity. One of the options that has matured is nuclear and can serve the globe addressing challenges due to climate change but suitable environment for its growth needs to be created addressing public apprehensions and ensuring focus of respective Governments.
