In studying the industrial carbon emissions in Zhejiang Province from 2015 to 2019, this paper calculates the carbon footprint, carbon-carrying capacity, net carbon footprint, and carbon footprint intensity of Zhejiang Province. The methods are recommended in the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. The results show that (1) raw coal accounts for the highest proportion of carbon footprint in Zhejiang Province; (2) overall carbon-carrying capacity is stable first and then significantly increases, and forest land is the main carbon carrier; (3) the value of net carbon footprint is positive, which shows that the carbon-carrying capacity in the ecological environment is gradually increasing; and (4) the carbon footprint intensity of Zhejiang Province is reduced, and the energy utilization efficiency is improved. It shows that the carbon emission reduction policy of Zhejiang Province has made great achievements, but the per capita carbon footprint is far higher than the world average. According to the above analysis results, this paper puts forward four countermeasures and suggestions.
