[Objective] The energy consumption and carbon emissions in Jilin Province from residents' expenditure were estimated and their influence factors were analyzed, to provide government decision for guiding local resident to take low carbon consumption and for improving the regional environment.[Methods] Taking Jilin Province as an example, we calculated the energy consumption and carbon emissions generated by various types of consumer activities in 2004-2003. Based on the STIRPAT model, a multivariate linear model fitted by a ridge regression to examine the relationship between carbon emissions and a list of human activity indices was built.[Results] (1) The consumptions of living, education and entertainment, and food were the main aspects of indirect energy consumption and the carbon emission. (2) It was found that every 1% increases of carbon emission intensity, per capita consumption, population and urbanization rate, would result to 0.831%, 0.309%, 0.184% and 0.055% increases of carbon emission caused by residents' living consumption in Jilin Province. The intensity of carbon emissions had the greatest impact on the carbon consumption of indirect energy consumption in Jilin Province.[Conclusion] The primary measures for reduction of carbon emissions are enhancing energy utilization efficiency and developing new energy.
