Analysis
Honduras recorded 5.86 million tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions from coal in 2017. That is the highest value across all 129 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.1% on the previous year and up 93.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from coal in Honduras peaked at 5.86 million tonnes in 2017 and was at its lowest, 0 tonnes, in 1870.
That places Honduras 119th out of 179 countries with data for 2017, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
