Analysis
In 2022, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Dominica stood at 160.9 tonnes.
The figure is down 1.2% on the previous year and down 4.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Dominica peaked at 745.14 tonnes in 2001 and was at its lowest, 0.654 tonnes, in 1750.
That places Dominica 208th out of 220 countries with data for 2022, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
