Subject. The article addresses the problem of increasing the volume of pollutant emissions into the atmosphere, environmental aspects of transport industry development in the Ural, Siberian, and Far Eastern Federal District. Objectives. We focus on the development of a tool to estimate greenhouse gas emissions from transport infrastructure. Methods. The study draws on methods of logical, statistical and econometric analysis. Results. We tested a regression model built on the basis of data reflecting the development of transport infrastructure in the regions of the Ural, Siberian, and Far Eastern Federal District in 2017–2021. The paper found that a particular impact on the volume of carbon dioxide emissions is exerted by the degree of depreciation of fixed assets of transport enterprises. An increase in the cost of fuel also has a negative effect on carbon dioxide emissions. Conclusions. The findings can be used in the reorganization process of transport systems to improve environmental performance in the regions.
Keywords: carbon dioxide emissions, transport infrastructure, regression analysis, transport indicator, tool
