The global biomass use intensity of T&T increased by 0.3% since 2023 to 170g per USD$ of T&T GDP. However, it remained 3.6% below 2019. For all other materials, T&T intensity only fell for fossil fuels since 2023. Fossil fuels intensity was 0.9% lower in 2024 compared to 2023, and T&T is most intensive in its use of non-metallic minerals, which include those used in construction, industry, and agriculture. This reflects the construction activity that the sector drives. region. The second graph on the right shows the non-metallic minerals use intensity, but similar patterns are seen across all regions.
