This report presents a cost analysis of 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA) production from raw sugar (sucrose). The process examined is a non-commercial route based concepts presented on recently published patents and articles. In this process, sucrose is hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose and the glucose obtained is isomerized into fructose. The resulting fructose is dehydrated to hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in ionic liquid medium, which is then oxidized to FDCA. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) DE Patent 102008009933, issued to Friedrich-Schiller-Universitat Jena, in 2009 (2) US Patent 20140256964 issued to Eastman in 2014 Keywords: Green FDCA, Hydroxyl Methyl Furan, HMF, ionic liquid
