Abstract: Carbon emissions (CE) in Anhui Province are closely related to carbon emissions from industrial land (CEIL). In this study, based on industrial land, industrial energy consumption, and related statistical data in Anhui Province from 2000 to 2016, the carbon emissions coefficient method and the standard deviational ellipse were used to measure and analyze the CEIL and their spatial and temporal evolution characteristics, aiming to provide a basis for the relevant government departments to formulate CE policies. The main results showed that: (1) The total amount of CEIL followed an inverted U-shaped trend of rapid increase followed by a decrease, while the overall carbon emission intensity from industrial land (CEIIL) followed a downward trend. (2) The CE had an evident spatial differentiation, with those from resource-based cities being much higher than those of industrial and tourism-based cities; (3) The overall pattern of CEIL in Anhui Province showed that the increase in the north-south direction is significantly higher than that in the east-west direction, and mainly expanded in the north-south direction. The overall industrial growth rate of Southern Anhui, represented by the Wanjiang City Belt, was higher than that of Northern Anhui, although its CEIL center showed to move towards Northern Anhui.
