Analysis
The most recent figure for coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Marshall Islands is 384.82 tonnes, measured in 2022.
The figure is up 3.8% on the previous year and up 9.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Marshall Islands peaked at 556.86 tonnes in 2003 and was at its lowest, 0.2526 tonnes, in 1750.
That places Marshall Islands 201st out of 220 countries with data for 2022, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
