Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from coal in Belarus is 3.43 million tonnes, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of down 1.0% on the previous year and down 26.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from coal in Belarus peaked at 11.07 million tonnes in 1988 and was at its lowest, 409 tonnes, in 1832.
That places Belarus 68th out of 179 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
