The Syrian Ministry of Energy's report discusses the rising demand for fuel, which has increased from 150,000 barrels per day in 2025 to the current 300,000 barrels. This growth is driven by the expansion of industrial cities and the increasing number of registered vehicles, now totaling 3.6 million. Additionally, the need for fuel has risen due to new areas coming under the ministry's responsibility, including regions in eastern and northern Syria. The report also notes that current production levels are insufficient to meet this demand, with production nearing 140,000 barrels per day. During recent protests caused by road closures, production dropped to 98,000 barrels, leading to distribution failures and ongoing crises. Price hikes ranging from 20% to 40% sparked protests and road blockades, amid growing market chaos and negative impacts on supply and production. The ministry is working to strengthen oversight, improve resource management, and diversify energy sources to ensure sector sustainability. However, questions remain about fair funding and the more transparent distribution of resources.
