Abstract:: In order to provide decisionmaking basis for the carbon reduction policy design in Shaanxi province from the perspective of industrial structure adjustment, this paper chose energy consumption, production chain and consumer demand as perspectives, and used the IPCC carbon accounting methods and EIOLCA model to estimate the direct carbon emissions and indirect carbon emissions of 30 segment departments respectively in Shaanxi province during 2007 and 2012 on the basis of the inputoutput table in 2007 and 2012.Finally, this paper creates carbon reduction effect model to analyze the carbon emissions changes of each department during 2007 and 2012. The results show that on the view of direct emissions, the carbon emissions of basic energy sectors such as electric power industry, petrochemical industry, coal mining and washing industry are higher; On the view of indirect carbon emissions, the carbon emissions of construction industry and other services are higher, and the “flow” indirect emissions caused the largest contribution to the carbon emissions on final demand. On the design of carbon emission reduction policy, these departments should be the key areas of carbon abatement.
