Analysis
Taiwan recorded 4.80 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions from cement in 2024.
The figure is down 3.6% on the previous year and down 32.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from cement in Taiwan peaked at 11.68 million tonnes in 1993 and was at its lowest, 0 tonnes, in 1896.
That places Taiwan 33rd 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.
