Safety problems

[edit]

In 2007, Amite and Lincoln counties experienced leaks of CO2, with people in the former having been evacuated.[20]

In 2011, a carbon dioxide pipeline owned by the company had a "blowout" in Tinsley, Mississippi, causing the sickening of one worker and killing deer, fish and birds.[20][21]

On February 22, 2020, a 24-inch pressurized pipeline carrying liquid carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide for carbon capture and utilization ruptured less than half a mile from Satartia. More than 300 people were evacuated and 46 hospitalized with carbon dioxide poisoning.[22][23][24][25][20] In May 2022, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration preliminarily assessed a civil penalty of $ 3,866,734.[26] In March 2023, Denbury signed a consent order to reform their safety procedures and response protocols.[27]
