The '''Energy Technology Data Exchange''' (ETDE) was formed in 1987 and officially ended 30 June 2014.<ref name=home2016>

The '''Energy Technology Data Exchange''' (ETDE) was formed in 1987. It was initiated as, and continues to be, a multilateral agreement, replacing numerous other bilateral agreements. The multilateral agreement is for the international exchange of energy research, development, and information exchange. The exchange has resulted in a database which is widely considered to be the world's largest collection of energy research, technology, and development (RTD) information (ETDEWEB - described below). The collection of information is generated from energy RTD literature published in member countries and through other partnering arrangements with organizations such as the International Nuclear Information System (a unit of the International Atomic Energy Agency) and the IEA Clean Coal Centre. This has the effect of creating a broad spectrum of information that is included in the ETDE database. The range of content includes Fossil Fuels, Renewable Energies and Hydrogen, End-Use (Buildings, Industry and Transport), Fusion and Cross-Sectional Activities. Furthermore, this fulfills the need for timely exchange of global information.<ref name=SouAfri2007>

Officers of the Executive Committee included a Chair and two Vice-Chairs, elected to three-year terms. Day-to-day operations were managed through an operating agent organization, which reported to the Executive Committee.

==Energy Database==

ETDE's '''Energy Database''' was a substantial collection that focused on [[energy research]] literature and [[technology]] literature. This database contained more than 4.5 million abstracted and indexed records, and was updated twice per month. Temporal coverage was from 1974 to 2014. The principle access point for this database was [[ETDEWEB]] (see next section). However, access was also available through commercial online hosts, and some countries offered their own products for access. Member country representatives supplied the best options for their citizens to access this database. Furthermore, the United States fed this database to [[Dialog (online database)|Dialog]] which provided online access. Likewise, Germany fed this database to [[STN International]].

Broad subject coverage included information on energy research and development; [[energy policy]] and planning; basic sciences (e.g., [[physics]], [[chemistry]] and [[biomedical]]) and [[materials research]]; the [[Sustainability|environmental impact]] of [[energy production]] and use, including [[climate change]]; [[energy conservation]]; nuclear (e.g., [[Nuclear reactor technology|reactors]], isotopes, [[nuclear waste management|waste management]]); coal and [[fossil fuels]]; and renewable energy technologies (e.g., [[solar energy]], [[wind energy]], [[biomass]], [[Geothermal power|geothermal]], hydro). The scope of topical coverage was worldwide in some areas. The database was used by scientists, researchers, engineers, policymakers, information specialists, librarians, industry leaders, university faculty, and university students, among others.

== ETDEWEB ==

Energy Technology Data Exchange employsemployed an [[internet]] related database to disseminate the energy research and technology information which iswas collected and exchanged. The database iswas named '''''ETDE World Energy Base''''' or '''''ETDEWEB'''''.<ref name=home>

ETDEWEB was produced and made available by ETDE. It had over 5 million references for literature that encompassed broad topical coverage, and allowed access to more than 500 000 full text documents and reports, which amounted to more than 1 million pages. ETDEWEB had unique access to these reports, which were often not available through other conventional sources. Over a million other references linked to sites containing cited documents. Open access was provided to member countries, countries with developing country status, or by Executive Committee decision.<ref name=etdewebpg>

ETDEWEB is a large database of energy research and technology literature, established in 1987, and with data coverage going back to 1974. It contains more than four million abstracted and indexed records. Coverage encompasses contributions of the ''ETDE'' member countries, international partner countries, and the [[U.S. Department of Energy]]'s [[Office of Scientific and Technical Information]] databases.<ref name=energyDB/>

Online access was extended through the wordwideenergy.org website.

===WorldWideENERGY.org (WWE)===

After the previous ETDE consortium ended in 2014, the WWE application allowed ETDEWEB and other content to remain accessible, thanks to remaining funds and former member country support. But this extended access also ended in July 2016.<ref name=WWE>
