Analysis
Niger recorded 9,506 tonnes for coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in 2022.
The figure is up 7.0% on the previous year and down 3.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Niger peaked at 10,509 tonnes in 2013 and was at its lowest, 49.35 tonnes, in 1750.
Niger ranks 143rd 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.
