Analysis
The most recent figure for coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Montenegro is 7,595 tonnes, measured in 2022.
That represents a change of down 0.3% on the previous year and down 75.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Montenegro peaked at 38,764 tonnes in 2008 and was at its lowest, 3.97 tonnes, in 1750.
That places Montenegro 148th 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.
