The transition from fossil energy to renewable energy will change the structure of global energy geopolitical power structure, national relations, and the driving factors of geopolitical game, which will have a far-reaching impact on the geopolitical shaped by fossil energy. On the basis of combing the origin of energy and geopolitics, this paper expounds the internal logic of the energy transition to reconfigure geopolitics and provides an outlook on the geopolitics of the energy transition. The conclusions are as follows: (1) The connotation and attributes of energy, as well as the differences between energy and geopolitics, determine that energy geopolitics presents significant intergenerational transformation characteristics. (2) The competition for key minerals, the game of low-carbon technology, the reconstruction of geopolitical pattern and the global energy governance are the four dimensions of the geopolitics of energy transformation reconstruction, of which the competition for key minerals is the basis of the geopolitical game of energy transformation, the game of low-carbon technology is the new focus of the geopolitics of energy transformation, and the reconstruction of geopolitical pattern is the direct characterization of the geopolitics of energy transition, energy governance is the path to ease the geopolitical game of energy transformation. (3) In the process of energy transformation and reconstruction of geopolitics, the competition for key minerals, the game of low-carbon technology, the reconstruction of geopolitical pattern and global energy governance are interrelated and interacted, which aggravates the complexity and uncertainty of energy geopolitics in the era of renewable energy. (4) Looking forward to the future, to better promote the development of energy geography and serve the major strategic needs of national energy security, the geopolitical research of energy transformation urgently needs to strengthen the theoretical innovation of energy transition reshaping geopolitics, promote the quantitative research of the geopolitical impact of energy transformation, construct the path of China's deep participation in global energy governance, and pay attention to the energy security issues caused by energy transformation under the background of "carbon neutrality".
