"The IEA's suggestions for governments, businesses, and individuals include promoting public transport, giving private cars access to city centers on alternate days, and encouraging car sharing and efficient driving habits."
"Birol stated that the proposals are in addition to actions taken by IEA member countries, who agreed to release 400 million barrels of oil, which is 20% of its emergency reserves."
"He emphasized that the world has not yet fully understood the depth of the energy security challenge, which is much bigger than the crises of the 1970s and the natural gas price shock following Russia's invasion of Ukraine."
Asian countries are adopting various measures to limit energy consumption, including restrictions on air conditioning temperatures and shorter workweeks for public servants. The IEA recommends promoting public transport, limiting private car access, encouraging car sharing, and reducing air travel. Additionally, there is a push to switch to electric cooking and preserve liquid petroleum gas for essential uses. The IEA has also released emergency oil reserves and is considering further actions to alleviate economic pain due to energy challenges, which are deemed more severe than past crises.
