Analysis
Poland recorded 92.02 million tonnes for co₂ emissions by fuel or industry in 2024. That is the highest value across all 225 years on record.
The figure is up 1.5% on the previous year and up 49.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions by fuel or industry in Poland peaked at 92.02 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 tonnes, in 1800.
That places Poland 23rd out of 215 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
