Analysis
The most recent figure for coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Seychelles is 5,202 tonnes, measured in 2022.
The figure is up 21.5% on the previous year and up 56.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Seychelles peaked at 5,222 tonnes in 2006 and was at its lowest, 0.762 tonnes, in 1810.
That places Seychelles 160th 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.
