The
International Energy Agency (IEA)
calls for reducing the speed limit on highways by at least 10 kilometers per hour and promoting teleworking three days a week where possible to save oil and avoid supply problems.
In a decalogue of measures to reduce oil consumption in the face of the crisis generated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine published this Friday, the IEA calculates that if they were applied in developed countries within four months, they would save the equivalent of
2, 7 million barrels per day,
reports Efe.
Among the tips launched by the organization is also declaring car-free days on Sundays in cities, making public transport cheaper, giving incentives for people to get around on foot or by bicycle, or establishing alternative car traffic on roads in urban areas.
Likewise, increase car-sharing practices, promote more efficient driving for truck drivers or delivery people, make greater use of high-speed trains and night trains instead of the car, ban travel by plane when there are other alternatives or Accelerate the renewal of the automobile fleet towards electric or more efficient vehicles.
The agency's executive director,
Fatih Birol,
warned in a statement that in the face of Russia's attack on Ukraine, "the world may have to face its biggest oil supply shock in decades with huge implications for our economies and our societies." .
Hence the reason for this shock plan, which is added to the decision taken by the Member States at the beginning of the month to release 62.7 million barrels of their strategic reserves to the market to reduce tension in the market.
