A calculation method of carbon dioxide emissions for a city was studied in this paper. Based on the NICE model developed by AIST Japan, power supply was taken into account; a power carbon emission coefficient for a city was defined and calculated in a case study. The calculation work of carbon dioxide emissions in a city was for six departments: agriculture, industry, and construction, tertiary-industry, transportation and the people´s living. This method amends the problem existing in traditional methods that neglect accounting the emissions of carbon dioxide produced during exogenous power. Finally, the paper took the case of Suzhou city as an example, and it is found that this calculation method is efficient to audit a city and also an industrial park.
