Analysis

Cuba recorded 117.35 million tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions from coal in 2024. That is the highest value across all 169 years on record.

That represents a change of up 0.1% over ten years.

Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from coal in Cuba peaked at 117.35 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 384,520 tonnes, in 1856.

That places Cuba 75th 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.
