Denbury's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Denbury reported significant carbon emissions, with approximately 40,000,000 kg CO2e attributed to a dedicated CO2 sequestration site in the Rocky Mountain region. This figure falls under a scope that is not specifically defined. For 2024, the company anticipates emissions of about 100,000 kg CO2e from a CO2 transportation agreement for a hydrogen plant in Wyoming, also classified under an unspecified scope. Looking ahead to 2025, Denbury has a CO2 transportation and storage agreement from a chemicals plant in Louisiana, projected to generate around 400,000 kg CO2e. Denbury's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Denbury Inc., which disclosed a total of approximately 18,074,560,000 kg CO2e in 2021, comprising 986,556,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 820,900,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a substantial 11,353,036,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data highlights the company's extensive carbon footprint across its operations. Despite the significant emissions figures, Denbury has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction initiatives or SBTi targets indicates a need for further development in their climate strategy. The company operates within the context of the broader oil and gas industry, which faces increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition towards more sustainable practices.
