Analysis
East Timor recorded 1,038 tonnes for coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in 2022.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.8% on the previous year and up 2.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in East Timor peaked at 1,260 tonnes in 2004 and was at its lowest, 10.04 tonnes, in 1750.
East Timor ranks 188th of 220 countries on this measure, in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
