This research uses Ecological Footprint as a tool to assess Carbon dioxide land Footprint of Ulli panchayat village situated in Gudiyattam block, Vellore district of Tamilnadu, India. An attempt was made to use "Bottom-up approach" to generate Carbon dioxide Land Footprint through direct measurement of direct energy and Embodied energy of consumption of Ulli Panchayat village. An assessment of national CO2 land footprint was done to understand variations amongst energy sources and its contribution to emissions. Sub regional studies by using Bottom-up approach of this nature are crucial for spatial planners for future resource planning.Keywords
