Analysis
Kyrgyzstan recorded 45,451 tonnes for coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in 2022.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 12.9% on the previous year and down 55.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Kyrgyzstan peaked at 125,955 tonnes in 1980 and was at its lowest, 23.16 tonnes, in 1750.
Kyrgyzstan ranks 91st of 220 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
