Analysis
The most recent figure for coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in French Guiana is 1,080 tonnes, measured in 2022.
That represents a change of down 0.6% on the previous year and down 24.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in French Guiana peaked at 6,561 tonnes in 1997 and was at its lowest, 0.6652 tonnes, in 1750.
That places French Guiana 186th 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.
