Abstract In remote areas, people experiencing persistent poverty still face challenges related to energy shortages and air pollution. Due to the escalating global climate change crisis, herding communities in the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau remain vulnerable to significant threats related to energy security and accessibility. These communities are vulnerable because they occupy underdeveloped regions and depend heavily on traditional energy sources. To explore this issue, we conducted a comprehensive questionnaire-based survey involving 473 herders across 13 counties on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau. The findings revealed that per capita energy consumption in herder households averaged 2021.793 kgce/year. Noncommercial energy sources constituted a substantial 61.66%, with the predominant one being cow dung, and refrigerators are the highest energy consumption household appliances. By applying geographically weighted regression (GWR), we examined seven key natural and socio-economic factors influencing solid energy use. These factors included annual per capita household income, the highest level of education, indoor and outdoor oxygen concentrations, the labor force population, housing size, and altitude. Notably, the first three variables exhibited negative correlations, while the rest demonstrated positive correlations. The impact of oxygen concentrations on household energy consumption was particularly significant, as demonstrated by the notable correlation. In this study, we elucidated the intricate structure and determinants of energy consumption structure within herders.
