Abstract: Based on the special investigation data of Zhejiang, Shaanxi and Henan Province from 2017 to 2018, the impact of household livelihood capital status on household energy consumption from five dimensions was analyzed by using the multiple linear regression model. The results showed that social capital, material capital and financial capital had a significant positive impact on commodity energy consumption, but they had a significant negative impact on non-commodity energy consumption. Human capital had a significant positive impact on the consumption of liquefied gas, electricity, straw and solar energy, but it had a significant negative impact on coal consumption. In addition, other factors such as the age of household heads were significant factors affecting household energy consumption. The research showed that implementing the strategy of rural revitalization and high-quality development, guiding livelihood capital and promoting the integrated development of urban and rural areas would help mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers to use green energy, further improve the rural energy consumption situation, and promote the green, low-carbon and circular development of the energy system.

Key words: livelihood capital, energy consumption, farmers
