Abstract:
At present, many environmental problems caused by excessive carbon emissions are threatening the living habitat of mankind, such as global warming and sea level rise. Besides, the rapid development of the city consumes a large amount of energy, and the sequent carbon dioxide emissions accelerate the process. This paper studies the relationship between industrial types and CO2 emissions based on DMSP-OLS (Defense Meteorological Satellite Program's Operational Linescan System) nighttime light data in different cities and the urban carbon emissions are estimated and spatialized. The correlation between the corrected DMSP-OLS and CO2 emissions from light manufacturing cities, service-based cities, and high-tech cities overmatch the energy production cities, heavy manufacturing cities. China's urban carbon emissions have a high-value cluster in East China and North China, and a low-value cluster in the southwestern region of China. It is also proved that secondary industry's share in GDP is a more important impact factor to CO2 emission than the GDP and population, suggesting that the urban industrial structure should be payed prime attention to when putting hands to carbon emission reduction.
