> The government will ask domestic refiners to assess whether they can produce more gasoline, diesel and other petroleum products as fuel prices rise and international supply risks intensify.

Italy will meet with domestic refiners Oct. 8 to assess whether they can increase gasoline, diesel and other petroleum-product output as fuel prices rise and international supply risks intensify.

Industry Minister Adolfo Urso and Environment and Energy Security Minister Gilberto Pichetto Fratin called the meeting. The discussion will examine whether national refineries can produce more key fuels to reduce supply risks.

No production target, timetable or commitment from individual refiners has been announced. The government has asked companies to examine whether existing capacity can support higher fuel production.

Italy’s average self-service gasoline price was €2.155 per liter on Sept. 21, while diesel averaged €2.335 per liter. National motorway averages were higher on Sept. 24, at €2.245 per liter for gasoline and €2.419 per liter for diesel.

The figures are daily averages based on prices reported by fuel-station operators. They show higher prices on motorways than across the broader road network, but do not establish a specific production shortfall or quantify how much additional fuel Italy may need.

The meeting comes amid heightened international supply concerns. Its immediate purpose is to assess whether domestic refiners can increase production of key petroleum products.
