Analysis
In 2022, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in New Caledonia stood at 23,163 tonnes.
The figure is up 1.0% on the previous year and up 27.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in New Caledonia peaked at 24,088 tonnes in 2019 and was at its lowest, 1.6 tonnes, in 1750.
That places New Caledonia 115th 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.
