Analysis
In 2022, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Guatemala stood at 89,373 tonnes.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 0.4% on the previous year and up 31.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Guatemala peaked at 93,290 tonnes in 2019 and was at its lowest, 84.22 tonnes, in 1750.
That places Guatemala 66th 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.
