Analysis
Moldova recorded 403.18 million tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions from coal in 2024. That is the highest value across all 173 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.1% on the previous year and up 0.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from coal in Moldova peaked at 403.18 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 189 tonnes, in 1830.
That places Moldova 60th 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.
