Chris Kendall, Denbury’s President and CEO commented, “I am proud to share our 2021 Corporate Responsibility Report, highlighting Denbury’s accomplishments and commitments in operating as a responsible and sustainable enterprise. As the world demands energy to fuel tomorrow’s economy and provide a better quality of life, Denbury is uniquely positioned to provide energy while also reducing atmospheric CO 2 emissions. With Denbury’s strategically located assets and extensive experience, we are extremely well positioned to lead in the reduction of CO 2 emissions through Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage. Today, our use of industrial-sourced CO 2 in enhanced oil recovery fully offsets our Scope 1 and 2 emissions and we have a goal to become Scope 3 net carbon negative by the end of this decade by expanding our use of industrial-sourced CO 2 . We are dedicated to being a leader in sustainability and welcome your feedback as we continue to create a new energy future.”
