Abstract: The development of new-quality productivity is a new driving force for high-quality energy cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative. At present, academic research on new-quality productivity and high-quality energy cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative is still relatively scattered. Based on this, this paper first analyzes the current situation and trends of energy cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative from the perspective of the connotation and characteristics of high-quality cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative. Then, by combining the connotation and characteristics of new-quality productivity, it studies the empowerment logic of new-quality productivity. The research results show that new-quality productivity starts from the "new" aspect, accelerating energy technological innovation and intelligent convenience, and creating new energy momentum; it exerts efforts from the "quality" aspect, enhancing the development of green energy and accelerating the green transformation of energy cooperation; and it takes "productivity" as the foothold, achieving energy cost reduction and efficiency improvement, as well as internalized symbiosis and mutual benefit and win-win along the route. Finally, in light of the instructions of the Party and the government on high-quality energy cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative, this paper proposes five policy suggestions aimed at achieving the strong empowerment of new-quality productivity for high-quality energy cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative.

Key words: new quality productivity, the Belt and Road Initiative, green energy transformation, energy cooperation
