Analysis
Slovenia recorded 5,295 tonnes for coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in 2022.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.0% on the previous year and down 59.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Slovenia peaked at 202,636 tonnes in 1990 and was at its lowest, 46.8 tonnes, in 1750.
Slovenia ranks 159th 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.
