With Denbury’s strategically located assets and extensive experience, we are extremely well positioned to lead in the reduction of CO₂ emissions through Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage. Today, our use of industrial-sourced CO₂ 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 CO₂.
