Analysis
In 2022, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Angola stood at 87,705 tonnes.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 25.5% on the previous year and up 30.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Angola peaked at 99,785 tonnes in 2014 and was at its lowest, 366.99 tonnes, in 1750.
That places Angola 68th out of 220 countries with data for 2022, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
