Abstract：China's direct household CO2 emissions were calculated with the method recommended by IPCC. And indirect household CO2 emissions were estimated using input-output table. Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method was applied to decompose China's household CO2 emissions in terms of quantity effect, urbanization effect, living standard effect, lifestyle effect and intensity effect. Theresults are as follows: From 1995 to 2012,urban and rural average household size decreased 0.37 and 0.6respectively. Urban household CO2 emissions increased by 1,740 million tons while rural household CO2 emissions decreased by 79million tons. Income and the quantity of households contributed 2.49 and 0.464 billion tons to household CO2 emissions respectively. Household urbanization contributed 0.314 billion tons to the indirect household CO2 emissions. Urban and rural household consumption structures were carbon intensive at different levels with the accumulative contribution rate of 10.3% and 12.8respectively. Energy intensity effect reduced 2.11 billion tons of household CO2 emissions in total.
