Analysis
Slovenia recorded 3.76 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions from coal in 2024.
The figure is up 21.1% on the previous year and down 16.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from coal in Slovenia peaked at 7.13 million tonnes in 1990 and was at its lowest, 0 tonnes, in 1943.
That places Slovenia 66th 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.
