Research on the Application of Life Cycle Method in Carbon Emission Accounting of Rural Households

Taking the Rural Model in Hebei as an Example Please Center

Abstract

Against the dual background of China's "dual carbon" goal and the rural revitalization strategy, the low - carbon development of rural areas is a key link in achieving carbon emission reduction across society. This paper integrates the carbon emission accounting method of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the life cycle assessment method to construct a nested carbon emission accounting framework of "four stages and three modules" suitable for rural households. Taking rural households in Tangshan City, Hebei Province as the research object, the study found that: the operation and use stage of rural household carbon emissions contributes the vast majority of emissions, followed by the building material production stage. Electricity consumption, embodied carbon in building materials, and emissions from small - scale breeding constitute the three core emission sources. The accounting framework constructed in this paper provides methodological support for the accurate accounting of rural household carbon emissions, and the research conclusions can provide a reference for rural low - carbon development decision - making.
