This study selected Shanxi province as one typical study object, and investigated the influencing factor of carbon emission and its emission-reducing potential of Shanxi industrial sectors in the past ten years, in order to understand the main emission-reducing factors and provide related policy recommendations. The result showed that the industrial output was the main positive influencing factor on industrial carbon emission growth, while the effect of energy intensity was the main negative influencing factor; in the non-energy exploitation and raw material processing industries, the carbon emission displayed the decreasing trend with the lower degree, while the output effect in Chemical Fibre Manufacturing industry presented the negative trend. The increases of carbon emission ranked top three in the energy exploitation, raw material processing, and manufacturing industries in Shanxi.
