Analysis
The most recent figure for coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Madagascar is 39,870 tonnes, measured in 2022. That is the highest value across all 273 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 19.7% on the previous year and up 102.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Madagascar peaked at 39,870 tonnes in 2022 and was at its lowest, 63.22 tonnes, in 1750.
That places Madagascar 94th 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.
