Analysis
Jordan recorded 44,436 tonnes for coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in 2022.
The figure is up 7.7% on the previous year and down 66.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Jordan peaked at 152,497 tonnes in 2014 and was at its lowest, 0.5794 tonnes, in 1939.
That places Jordan 92nd 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.
