Abstract

  The experiences of developed countries showed that economic development with emphasis on irregular use of environment would make serious problems on sustainable development. Increasing energy consumption is one of the main factors contributing in emissions of greenhouse gas. One of the main sectors of energy demand and thus contributing to greenhouse gas emissions is household sector, so this paper examines the share of households in Yazd province to CO2 emissions.   Using the extended input-output data tables with 20 parts, the analysis results are discussed. The results show that the Carbon dioxide emissions from household natural gas consumption with a share of 70 percent is in the first and kerosene with 20% share is in the second place. It has been observed that the amount of direct propagation coefficient in carbon emissions is equal to 0/121826664 Million Rails which mean that for every million rails demand in the household sector 0/121826664 Carbon dioxide gas is released.
