Analysis
Germany recorded 1.24 billion tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions from cement, gaps filled in 2024. That is the highest value across all 97 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.8% on the previous year and up 11.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from cement, gaps filled in Germany peaked at 1.24 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 3.81 million tonnes, in 1928.
That places Germany 6th out of 211 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
