Global energy crisis has encouraged the need for sustainable energy resources, which is the viable alternate of providing effective energy operations and considered as remedy for the ongoing energy crisis. Development in the science and technology eases out plenty of issues that were once thought to be uphill. Presently, earth is being subjected to several grave issues which need to be addressed as soon as possible. Nuclear and hydrogen energy are the important areas which promise the optimistic way of handling the existential energy crisis due to cost, scarcity of resources and unavailability of considerable feedstock. Ceramics are the diverse inorganic materials which offer tremendous chemical and physical characteristics. Due to their structural, compositional and morphological versatility, advanced ceramics based hybrid materials can be exploited in nuclear and hydrogen energy applications as discussed in this review. Extensive survey outlined the applicability of ceramics in various nuclear science based applications as they include fissionable species and possess higher thermal conductivity, their enormous resistance towards radiation and refractoriness in fuels and in waste residuals due to their potential to hold radio nuclides and surveyed the scope of several metal oxides ceramics in carrying out hydrogen energy operations via overall water splitting.
