This paper makes an in-depth study and analysis of the direct carbon footprint of residents’ consumption in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region based on the IPCC method and the decomposition model of the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) from 2000 to 2016. The results show that 1) The overall consumption of urban residents and the direct carbon footprint per capita in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from 2000 to 2016 were much higher than that of rural residents. 2) The consumption of residents was closely related to the energy structure, and coal, heat and electricity consumption occupied the main position. 3) According to the analysis of the LMDI decomposition model, the energy structure factors contributed negatively to the direct carbon footprint of residents except 2003-2006. 4) Energy efficiency and economic development are important factors to stimulate the direct carbon footprint of residents. Finally, we provide reasonable suggestions for residents’ consumption, energy saving and emission reduction.
