We present an updated status of the EDGE project, which is a survey of 125 local galaxies in the $^{12}$CO($1-0$) and $^{13}$CO($1-0$) lines. We combine the molecular data of the EDGE survey with the stellar and ionized gas maps of the CALIFA survey to give a comprehensive view of the dependence of the star formation efficiency, or equivalently, the molecular gas depletion time, on various local environments, such as the stellar surface density, metallicity, and radius from the galaxy center. This study will provide insight into the parameters that drive the star formation efficiency in galaxies at $z sim 0$.
