Excerpt: The International Energy Agency is calling for people to cut oil demand by working from home more, flying less and driving slower, as the Iran war rocks global energy markets.
The agency says those measures, alongside steps such as sharing cars and switching to electric cookers, are needed to help with the “largest supply disruption in the history of the oil market”, which has pushed the price of a barrel of oil above $100.
About 20 per cent of global oil supplies are typically shipped through the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has in effect closed with strikes on oil tankers. The gas market went into a frenzy on Thursday after Iran hit the world’s largest liquefied natural gas facility in Qatar, following an Israeli strike on an Iranian gasfield.
