Analysis
The most recent figure for cumulative co₂ emissions from coal in Slovakia is 2.70 billion tonnes, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 165 years on record.
That represents a change of up 0.3% on the previous year and up 4.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from coal in Slovakia peaked at 2.70 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 65,095 tonnes, in 1860.
That places Slovakia 28th out of 179 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
