G7 countries have agreed to release 100 million barrels of diesel and other fuel reserves, according to TASS.
Alongside the reserve release, the group agreed to coordinate maintenance schedules across refineries in order to prevent simultaneous capacity shutdowns, and to temporarily increase utilization rates where feasible.
The measures are aimed at easing pressure on global fuel markets, which have seen prices rise amid broader energy market volatility. Coordinated refinery scheduling is intended to avoid supply bottlenecks that can occur when multiple facilities undergo maintenance at the same time.
Further detail on the timeline for the release of reserves, or on which countries' refineries would be affected by the coordinated maintenance plan, was not included in the available report.
