Analysis
In 2024, annual co₂ emissions from coal in Ukraine stood at 54.56 million tonnes.
The figure is down 0.4% on the previous year and down 60.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from coal in Ukraine peaked at 371.36 million tonnes in 1985 and was at its lowest, 2,843 tonnes, in 1832.
Ukraine ranks 20th of 179 countries on this measure, in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
