Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from coal in Croatia is 907,706 tonnes, measured in 2024.
The figure is down 34.1% on the previous year and down 64.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from coal in Croatia peaked at 2.98 million tonnes in 1990 and was at its lowest, 0 tonnes, in 1943.
That places Croatia 90th 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.
