"Working with our distributor in China, Shanghai Aerospace Energy, we expect China will become one of our leading customers in the years ahead," said McBride. "This trade mission with Governor Schwarzenegger will immediately boost the nation's awareness of the benefits of our clean, fuel-efficient energy solutions that address China's rapidly growing need for reliable and affordable everyday energy production."

Capstone's new representative office is located in Shanghai. At Shanghai's Jiao Tong University, one of China's top technical institutes, two Capstone MicroTurbines currently supplement power to the university. The near-zero-emission exhaust of the systems directly drives an absorption chiller that creates cold air conditioning from heat energy instead of electric energy.

Schwarzenegger's week-long, mid-November trade mission to promote the use of California-made products in the world's most populous nation will make stops in Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong. Representatives from a number of California-based companies will join the governor, including those in the tourism, agricultural, technology, financial and other industries.

"Capstone is the only energy equipment manufacturer involved in this trade mission," McBride said.
