Abstract: Abstract Indirect emission from household consumption, which is affected by technologies of production sectors, is the significant contributor to national CO2 emission. Input–output model is preferred when direct and indirect transactions and emissions are considered simultaneously. Based on input–output model, this study applies the sensitivity analysis to indirect emission from rural and urban domestic consumption, respectively. It allows us to investigate the influences of the technology change both at the transaction level and at the sector level. In addition, multi-years symmetrical input–output tables are adopted to obtain dynamic analysis in order to study the variation trend of the influences. At the transaction level, the technology change of production and supply of electric power and heat power self-supplied intermediate inputs exerts the most significant influence on indirect emission from both rural and urban consumption. At the sector level, indirect emissions from rural and urban consumption are both the most sensitive to the technology change of chemistry industry. Furthermore, there are more key transactions selected under consideration of rural domestic consumption compared with the urban. Additionally, the influencing degree and variation trends of the same technology change would be different between rural and urban situation. According to the above findings, policy recommendations aiming at achieving emission abatement from household consumption are provided in detail.
