At Denbury, we strive to be environmentally responsible in all aspects of our operations.

We and our stakeholders care about the environmental impact of our operations, and we are committed to developing our assets in an efficient and responsible manner, utilizing technology and techniques that reduce the risks to, and impacts on, the environment.

Providing and integrating sound environmental policies, procedures and practices into our health, safety and environmental (“HSE”) programs are key to our success as a company and fulfilling our commitment to environmental responsibility. Our programs include measures to prevent spills and releases and to quickly respond to incidents if they do occur, efforts to manage, minimize and remediate our environmental impacts, and an operating strategy that is conscious of our carbon footprint.

Environment Highlights

22 years of CO2 experience

~1 million cars

Net zero by 2030

We have 22 years of experience transporting, injecting, and monitoring CO2. On an annual basis, we manage approximately 70 million metric tons of CO2 annually between recycled and newly injected CO2 utilized in our operations.
In 2021, Denbury utilized 3.7 million metric tons of CO2 from industrial sources that would have otherwise been released into the atmosphere. This amount equals the annual GHG emissions of approximately 1 million passenger vehicles.
Denbury has set a target to reach Net Zero, including Scope 1, 2, and 3 (Category 11: Use of Sold Products) emissions associated with the refining and combustion of our produced hydrocarbons by 2030.
