Analysis
In 2022, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Mali stood at 12,162 tonnes. That is the highest value across all 273 years on record.
The figure is up 17.0% on the previous year and up 57.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Mali peaked at 12,162 tonnes in 2022 and was at its lowest, 219.08 tonnes, in 1750.
Mali ranks 136th 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.
