Temporal-spatial evolution and formation mechanism of energy consumption carbon footprint at county scale in the Yellow River Basin.

ABSTRACT: The development and implementation of county carbon control action plans in the Yellow River Basin (YRB) are crucial for realizing the "dual carbon" goals and modernizing national governance. Utilizing remote sensing data from 2001 to 2020, this study constructs a light-carbon conversion model and a carbon footprint model to simulate the carbon footprint of county energy consumption in the YRB. Employing spatial autocorrelation and spatial Durbin models, the study examines the temporal-spatial evolution characteristics and spatial effect mechanism. The results show that: (1) The county carbon footprint increased year by year. The distribution of the high carbon footprint is consistent with that of energy-intensive areas. The carbon cycle system is significantly unbalanced, and the counties
