Implication

Randomized trial examines carbon emission efficiency in wastewater treatment facilities, highlighting cross-regional collaboration implications.

Key Points

  • This research aims to analyze the carbon emission efficiency of wastewater treatment facilities across various provinces in China, examining its structural characteristics and the factors driving it.
  • Utilized operational data from WWTFs in 30 provinces from 2010 to 2023
  • Measured provincial carbon emission efficiency using a super-efficiency slack-based measure model
  • Analyzed association network using modified gravity model, social network analysis, and quadratic assignment procedure
  • Overall CEE of provincial WWTFs remained below efficiency frontier with fluctuations
  • Association network evolved from dispersed multicore to hub-centered concentration, then to multicore structure
  • Interprovincial adjacency identified as the most stable factor for network formation, impacting governance outcomes
