Abstract：Carbon emission has now become the focus of scholars at home and abroad. Studying the issues related to carbon emissions, especially urban carbon emissions, will help to achieve the 2030 "carbon peak" and 2060 "carbon neutral" goals. Yulin is a typical coal city and heavy industrial city, with considerable pressure on energy conservation and emission reduction. This paper first analyzes the current situation of energy consumption and carbon emissions in Yulin City, and then selects the population, economy, energy, industry and other relevant data of Yulin City from 2005 to 2020 to study the main influencing factors of carbon emissions in Yulin City by using the gray correlation analysis model. The research results show that the total amount of coal consumption and thermal power generation have the largest impact on carbon emissions in Yulin City, followed by GDP, GDP per capita, total coal production, energy intensity, population , primary energy structure and industrial structure. Finally, according to the actual situation of Yulin, some suggestions are put forward, such as reducing the total coal consumption, developing modern coal chemical industry, vigorously developing tourism and agriculture.
