Energiekrise: Industrieländer wollen Dieselreserven freigeben – Preis fällt
Die G7-Staaten geben Dieselreserven frei. Nach massivem Druck aus Washington erklären sich die Europäer dazu bereit, strategische Dieselbestände bereitzustellen.
Western industrial powers are considering releasing strategic oil reserves to combat high diesel prices, according to a decision made by G7 leaders on Friday. The heads of state and government agreed to bring up to 100 million barrels of oil and petroleum products from their strategic reserves onto the market through the International Energy Agency (IEA).
This move aims to expedite the implementation of a pledge announced in March. In March, IEA members had agreed to jointly release 400 million barrels of oil and petroleum products. However, US President Donald Trump had criticized Europeans and other IEA members for not fulfilling their commitments swiftly enough. Now, it appears that the process will be accelerated.
Out of the 400 million barrels that have not yet been released, 100 million barrels are expected to enter the market within a maximum of four months. The G7 leaders write in a joint statement that they will call on the International Energy Agency to oversee the prompt and complete implementation of the March 2026 commitments. They will execute their commitments through a coordinated release of 100 million barrels via the IEA, which is set to begin immediately and last for four months.
