Abstract: International logistics plays a strategic role in the development of supply chains, especially in emerging sectorssuch as renewable energy. In the context of the state of Ceará, which stands out for its initiatives aimed atdiversifying the energy matrix and expanding sustainable sources, logistical efficiency is essential for enablingthe integration of global markets, reducing operational costs, and strengthening regional competitiveness. Thisarticle analyzes the contributions of international logistics to the renewable energy supply chain in Ceará,exploring the challenges faced, the available infrastructure, and opportunities for improvement within the sector.The methodology adopted involved a qualitative approach utilizing the research procedure known asbibliographic research. The main objective of this study is to analyze the contribution of international logistics tothe integration and strengthening of the supply chain in the renewable energy sector in Ceará, identifying thelogistical challenges, opportunities, and solutions that enhance the sustainable expansion of wind and solarenergy generation and distribution in the region. The study concluded that currently existing services, particularlymaritime services, involve transshipments at other ports located in the southern or southeastern regions of thecountry, resulting in long internal routes to be covered through available multi-modal services. This ends upincreasing product costs, as the farther the product is from its consumption area, the higher the transportationcost. Therefore, establishing direct routes and services could significantly reduce costs, promoting greaterefficiency in the transportation and distribution of goods.Keywords: Renewable Energy; Logistics; Imports; Multi-modal Services.
