Analysis
The most recent figure for coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Suriname is 19,512 tonnes, measured in 2022.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 2.3% on the previous year and down 4.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Suriname peaked at 26,482 tonnes in 2015 and was at its lowest, 2.81 tonnes, in 1750.
That places Suriname 121st 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.
