Analysis
In 2024, annual co₂ emissions from coal in Turkmenistan stood at 4 tonnes.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from coal in Turkmenistan peaked at 1.91 million tonnes in 1957 and was at its lowest, 0 tonnes, in 1994.
That places Turkmenistan 140th out of 179 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
