Study on the Optimization Measures of Carbon Emissions in Chengdu’s Territorial Space under the Trend of Clean Energy and Energy Structure Adjustment

Abstract

Clean energy refers to energy that has less impact on the environment and can be used sustainably. With the intensification of global climate change and environmental pollution problems, the development of clean energy has become a common concern for governments and enterprises. In this paper, the scale of carbon emission in Chengdu is measured by analyzing LEAP model, and the carbon sink capacity is measured by the change of land use structure. Based on the trends of carbon sources and sinks, we analyze the countermeasures that Chengdu needs to take to achieve the carbon peak by 2030. Finally, based on the vision of “carbon neutrality”, suggestions are made for the optimization of Chengdu’s territorial spatial planning in terms of building a green and low-carbon territorial spatial development and protection pattern, optimizing the territorial spatial layout and factor allocation, developing clean energy technologies, and increasing the proportion of clean energy use.
