Spatial Effect and Influencing Factors Analysis of Waste-to-Energy Environmental Efficiency in China

The accelerating urbanization and improvement of living standards have greatly increased the municipal solid waste (MSW) generation in China. Public private partnership (PPP) widely used in the field of waste-to-energy (WTE) industry can decrease the volume of MSW, generate power and address the serious environmental problems caused by MSW. Then using spatial econometric model to analyze spatial effect and influencing factors of waste-to-energy environment efficiency (WEEE) in China. The results showed that: (1) WEEE of China’s 31 provinces is related in space, (2) WEEE with a variety of factors. The high economic level, reasonable changes of structure, good environment infrastructure and specialized environmental regulation can improve WEEE.
