%X Industry is generally recognized as the main source of greenhouse gases. However, with rapid urbanization of China and significantly improved household living standard, the carbon footprint of household consumption should not be ignored any more. A general overview of carbon footprint of household consumption shows that domestic study on this field is less intensive than abroad and needs to be further developed. In this paper, a comprehensive study on direct and embodied carbon footprint of Beijing household consumption was made based on input-output analysis. The results reveal that: 1) Total carbon footprint of Beijing urban residents in 2007 was 79.93 Mt, about seven times of that of rural residents. And embodied carbon footprint is predominant in urban resident consumption while direct carbon footprint is predominant in rural resident consumption; 2) As for the composition of household consumption's embodied carbon footprint, Food, Transport & communications and Education, culture & recreation services are the top three categories for urban residents with ratios of 35.2% , 14.1% and 13.8% respectively. However for rural residents, Food, Residence and Transport & communications are the top three categories with ratios of 32.4%, 21.9% and 12.3% respectively; 3) Embodied carbon footprint increases with the residents'income level and the increase of carbon footprint from Transport and communications consumption is especially obvious. Carbon footprint composition of urban household consumption will also change with the increase of income level but that of rural household consumption is relatively stable. At the end of the paper, corresponding policy proposals for rural and urban household consumption were given separately according to carbon footprint analysis. For rural residents, advanced heat supply technology for heating system is the best solving method for now. For urban residents, carbon footprint can be reduced from the following two aspects: first, adjust industrial structure and energy structure and improve the utilization ratio of energy; second, try to guide residents to a healthy consumption pattern.
