It is very green, as long as you turn it into value-added products (like furfural or Hydrogen/Biochar), as opposed to just burning it!

FDCA to PEF (Polyethylene Furanoate): A Production Cost Analysis
The total operating cost (raw materials, utilities, fixed costs and depreciation costs) estimated to produce PEF was about $2,700/ton in Q2 2015.
How About Introducing BreakdownPEF?
However, bio-degradation of PET will result in breakdown products such as methane or (at best, if methane is recovered/converted to) CO2, the so called Greenhouse Gases, which in this case a derived from oil.
Corncob Security
Not much has changed since the 2015 study: Corncob prices still dominate the base price of furfural.
Palm Biomass to Furfural
Date palm trees produce huge amount of agricultural wastes in the form of dry leaves, stems, pits, seeds etc.
| It’s chemical composition is suitable to make furfural.
Australia: Sugar set for ‘Energycane’ Reinvention
Sugarcane is ideal for renewables because it is fast-growing with abundant biomass.
Besides sugar and cellulose, its hemicelluloses (or the so called 5-carbon sugars, Pentoses) are an ideal feedstock to make furfural (one of the oldest bio-based chemical building blocks).
