While the sale of E85, commonly known as ethanol, is permitted in Italy, the distribution network for this fuel is very sparse.

Distribution companies have expressed their difficulties about a possible purchase of sufficient quantities of biocomponents if Italy were to consider their consumption, especially if the proportion of biofuels increases in the various EU countries.

The companies want to offer quality to match their brand throughout Italy. This means that for these companies, ethanol sales can only be considered by getting suppliers that can supply a significant volume of ethanol. The risk that the limited supply of biocomponents, which could affect the brand in the eyes of their customers, is seen as the biggest problem for the supply of this renewable fuel.

A maximum of 10% bioethanol is already added to petrol for the Italian market.
