a–d present GHG mitigation potential, freshwater saving, SO2 emission reduction, and NOx emission reduction in M1–M5 and Integrated scenarios. M1, retrofitting coal-fired boilers to natural gas (NG)-fired boilers; M2, replacing coal-fired boilers with MSW incinerators; M3, retrofitting extraction-condensing or pure-condensing turbines to back-pressure turbines; M4, replacing small-capacity coal-fired units with large-capacity coal-fired units; and M5, replacing small-capacity coal-fired units with large-capacity natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) units; Integrated scenario, implementing M1–M5 jointly.
