Analysis
The most recent figure for coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Togo is 5,436 tonnes, measured in 2022.
That represents a change of up 15.2% on the previous year and up 46.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Togo peaked at 10,021 tonnes in 2016 and was at its lowest, 37.73 tonnes, in 1750.
That places Togo 158th 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.
