Abstract: New quality productivity is an important part of Xi Jinping's economic thought, and is the enrichment and development of Marxist productivity theory. The new technology, new energy and new industries advocated by him are in line with the requirements of green development, and can effectively empower green development. The new quality productivity empowering green development contains a profound logical mechanism, the ecological orientation of Marx’s productivity theory is its theoretical foundation, the CPC’s exploration of eco-environmental protection is its practical foundation, and the new quality productivity and green development are highly compatible with the reality of the Chinese-style modernization process. Green development empowered by new quality productivity provides a new way to meet the people's needs for a better life, a new impetus to realize the goal of building a beautiful China, and a new solution to the increasingly serious global ecological crisis. To realize green development empowered by new quality productivity, it is necessary to take green scientific and technological innovations as the support, the green economic policy system as the important lever, the growth of green industry as the practical direction, and the development of green energy as the driving force, so as to effectively expand the practical path of green development empowered by new quality productivity through scientific and technological assistance, policy support, industrial adaptation and energy innovation.
