Analysis
Italy recorded 6.75 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions from cement in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 19.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from cement in Italy peaked at 18.60 million tonnes in 1980 and was at its lowest, 563,788 tonnes, in 1945.
That places Italy 25th 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.
