Analysis
Belarus recorded 2.34 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions from cement in 2024.
That represents a change of down 11.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from cement in Belarus peaked at 2.65 million tonnes in 2014 and was at its lowest, 20,142 tonnes, in 1945.
That places Belarus 52nd out of 211 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
