Abstract:

[Objective] Accurately estimating the carbon sources and sinks of ecosystems and exploring their spatiotemporal evolution patterns are of great significance for optimizing territorial space management and promoting the low-carbon transition in Hebei Province. [Methods] This study utilized energy consumption data, remote sensing data, carbon density data, water carbon flux data, and salt marsh and coastal aquaculture data to calculate the carbon emissions from energy consumption, terrestrial ecosystem carbon sinks, and water carbon fluxes in Hebei Province. Additionally, a scientific analysis of the degree of carbon neutrality was conducted. [Results] (1) The overall carbon emissions from energy consumption in Hebei Province showed a continuous upward trend from 2000 to 2019, with emissions in 2019 reaching approximately four times those of 2000, at an average annual growth rate of about 6.98%. (2) The total NEP (Net Ecosystem Production) in Hebei Province from 2000 to 2020 showed significant fluctuations but an overall upward trend. The interannual variations in carbon fluxes from inland waters were minimal, showing a slight increasing trend. Blue carbon from marine aquaculture demonstrated overall growth, increasing from 6 600 tons in 2000 to 35 600 tons in 2020. (3) A comprehensive analysis of the carbon sources and sinks in Hebei Province’s territorial space revealed that the total ecosystem carbon sinks in 2020 could offset approximately 3.54% of the carbon emissions from energy consumption. [Conclusion] This suggests that Hebei Province currently has a relatively low carbon neutrality capacity, below the national average (15%), and faces enormous pressure to reduce carbon emissions and increase carbon sinks.
