Analysis
Armenia recorded 44.08 million tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions from coal in 2024. That is the highest value across all 173 years on record.
The figure is up 0.1% on the previous year and up 0.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from coal in Armenia peaked at 44.08 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 41 tonnes, in 1830.
That places Armenia 95th out of 179 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.
