Abstract
Abstract The measurement of household carbon emissions from a trading-oriented perspective has become increasingly important and urgently required due to the growing attention to personal carbon trading. From a trading-oriented perspective, this study established an integrated measurement system of household carbon emissions that consists of four modules: direct carbon emissions produced by energy use and private transport, and indirect carbon emissions produced by the consumption of a portion of non-energy goods and services and waste disposal. The emissions coefficient method and input–output model were then adopted to systematically calculate the carbon emissions coefficients of 31 items related to household activities. Furthermore, this study developed an integrated measurement scale of household carbon emissions that includes 23 questions based on the integrated measurement system. Additionally, the carbon emissions of three urban families in Xuzhou were measured and analyzed using the integrated measurement scale, which exhibits the simple, clear, and calculable characteristics of the integrated measurement system and integrated measurement scale. This study provides new perspectives for the measurement of household carbon emissions and valuable references for the research and implementation of personal carbon trading scheme, and then contributes to the reduction of households' carbon emissions.
