Analysis
In 2022, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Croatia stood at 6,544 tonnes.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.3% on the previous year and down 70.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Croatia peaked at 545,880 tonnes in 1977 and was at its lowest, 1,469 tonnes, in 1750.
That places Croatia 153rd 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.
