A review of current approaches to the assessment of the anthropogenic impact on global warming is presented. Measures to regulate greenhouse gas emissions are analyzed, including the introduction of a carbon tax and a system of national quotas for greenhouse gas emissions. The outcomes of the assessment of the contribution of the railway industry to gross greenhouse gas emissions are presented. The potential for the application of negative emission technologies at railway transport facilities is considered. Proposals are formulated to reduce the influence of the railway industry on the development of global warming.
Key words: global warming / railroad / negative emission technologies / greenhouse gases / sustainable development
