Abstract This study analyzes the carbon footprint and implicit carbon transfer of advanced manufacturing in the western region, revealing the spatial distribution characteristics of carbon emissions and transfer pathways, providing a basis for formulating regional collaborative emission reduction policies. Using data from 11 provinces between 2007 and 2017, the study applies the IO model and MRIO model to measure carbon footprints and analyze the dynamic changes in inter-provincial and inter-industry implicit carbon transfers. It also constructs a provincial implicit carbon transfer network and examines its overall and individual node characteristics. The results show that: The carbon footprint of advanced manufacturing in the western region has increased overall, with significant growth in provinces such as Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, and Chongqing, mainly concentrated in the non-metallic mineral products and equipment manufacturing industries. The implicit carbon transfer into Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan has increased, while Inner Mongolia and Guangxi experienced a significant growth in implicit carbon transfer out in 2017, mainly from the non-metallic mineral products industry. The implicit carbon transfer network exhibits a "core-periphery" structure, with Sichuan and Shaanxi in the core and Xinjiang, Qinghai, and Gansu in the periphery.
