Analysis
Japan recorded 2.10 billion tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions from cement, gaps filled in 2024. That is the highest value across all 97 years on record.
That represents a change of up 1.0% on the previous year and up 13.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from cement, gaps filled in Japan peaked at 2.10 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 1.90 million tonnes, in 1928.
That places Japan 4th 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.
