Analysis
Reunion recorded 30,938 tonnes for coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in 2022. That is the highest value across all 273 years on record.
That represents a change of up 17.0% on the previous year and up 55.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Reunion peaked at 30,938 tonnes in 2022 and was at its lowest, 1.24 tonnes, in 1750.
That places Reunion 104th 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.
