Abstract The author calculated the carbon emission of the primary energy consumption of Henan province from 1978 to 2009. The research finds that the carbon emission of primary energy consumption of Henan province has been increasing since 1978|though the carbon emission intensity is dropping gradually, the carbon footprint per capita is rising continuously, among which the carbon emissions in coal consumption is the main source of total carbon emission|the relationship between the carbon footprint per capita of the primary energy consumption and GDP per capita of Henan province does not accord with the standard environmental Kuznets curve, but shows a cubic curve, while the relationship between carbon emission intensity and GDP per capita shows an inversed curve
