Analysis
Cuba recorded 60.04 million tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions from cement in 2024. That is the highest value across all 84 years on record.
The figure is up 0.5% on the previous year and up 9.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from cement in Cuba peaked at 60.04 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 76,320 tonnes, in 1941.
That places Cuba 66th out of 211 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.
