ABSTRACT
The depletion of resources and environmental pollution caused by excessive consumption of fossil
energy has made the development and utilization of renewable energy the focus of the world. This paper
uses social network analysis method to analyze the network characteristics of global trade of renewable
energy products, and empirically studies the factors of trade network formation through QAP method.
The results showed that: (1) Each node country has a close relationship in the global trade network of
renewable energy products, and the spatial pattern shows heterogeneity; (2) In the renewable energy
product trade network, Germany, the United States and China At a clear core position, some European
countries are semi-marginal, some developing countries and emerging economies are gradually
emerging; (3) Economic scale, geographical proximity, technological factors and regional trade
relevance to trade in renewable energy products The formation of the network structure has a positive
impact, but the degree of impact on different products varies significantly.
