Abstract

Carbon emission has become an important research hotspot under the background of global climate change and low-carbon economy. Studies on the carbon footprint of different industrial spaces help to establish different low-carbon strategies for different regions. In order to evaluate the carbon cycle pressure of different industrial spaces in different regions, using energy consumption and land use data of each region of China from 1999 to 2008, this chapter establishes carbon emission and carbon footprint models based on energy consumption and estimates the carbon emissions from the use of fossil energy and rural biomass energy of different regions in China. By matching the energy consumption items with industrial spaces, this chapter divides industrial spaces into five types: agricultural space, living and industrial-commercial space, transportation industrial space, fishery and water conservancy space, and other industrial space. Then, the carbon emission intensity and carbon footprint of each industrial space in different regions of China are analyzed. Finally, suggestions for decreasing industrial carbon footprint and optimizing industrial space patterns in different regions are provided.
