Based on the land use change data and energy consumption data of Tangshan City from 2005 to 2019, a calculation has been made of the carbon emissions from land use in Tangshan City from 2005 to 2019, followed by an analysis of the evolution trend of carbon sources, carbon sinks, net carbon emissions and carbon emission intensity, with the driving factors of carbon emission decomposed by LMDI model. The results show that the carbon emissions from land use in Tangshan City has been increasing from 2005 to 2019, with the carbon emissions in some years decreasing compared with the previous year. During the study period, the per capita carbon emission intensity of Tangshan City showed an upward trend year by year, while the carbon emission intensity per unit gross regional product kept decreasing year by year. Economic effect is the main positive driving factor affecting carbon emission in Tangshan City, to be followed by other factors as population size and energy structure effect, meanwhile the technological effect is the negative driving factor. Finally, an analysis is made of the driving factors of Tangshan，s carbon emission, with some suggestions put forward on the future development of Tangshan，s energy saving and emission reduction and low carbon economy.
