Analysis
The most recent figure for co₂ emissions by fuel or industry in Serbia is 10.79 million tonnes, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.6% on the previous year and up 31.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions by fuel or industry in Serbia peaked at 13.45 million tonnes in 2006 and was at its lowest, 0 tonnes, in 1885.
That places Serbia 87th out of 215 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.
