Spatial-temporal Analysis for PPP Waste-to-energy Projects in China

Abstract

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. The advantage of PPP model can be expressed in its inherent incentive, expanding product quality, improving capacity utilization, saving transaction costs, improving efficiency of WTE industry. We collect data of municipal solid waste disposal fee from 69 PPP WTE projects of 231 operating projects, covering 30% of all PPP WTE operating projects in 29 provinces from 1999–2016, the spatial-temporal model is built to analyze the waste-to-energy environmental efficiency in PPP waste-toenergy industry.
