Analysis
Mozambique recorded 19.50 million tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions from cement in 2024. That is the highest value across all 97 years on record.
The figure is up 5.9% on the previous year and up 100.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from cement in Mozambique peaked at 19.50 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 7,269 tonnes, in 1928.
That places Mozambique 108th 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.
