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]] under the [[International Energy Agency]] (IEA) agreement network, replacing numerous other [[bilateral agreement]]s. The multilateral agreement is for the international exchange of [[energy research]] and development and information. The exchange has resulted in a [[database]] which is 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]]). This has the effect of creating a broad spectrum of information that is included in the ETDE database. The range of content includes [[fossil fuel]]s, [[renewable energies]] (including [[Hydrogen]]), End-Use ([[Building]]s, [[Industry]] and [[Transport]]), [[fusion power|fusion]], energy policy, conservation, and efficiency, and cross-sectional activities. Furthermore, this fulfills the need for timely exchange of global information towards the goal of a sustainable energy future. ETDE operates under an IEA Implementing Agreement and is governed by an Executive Committee of delegates from ETDE member countries. Officers of the Executive Committee include a Chair and two Vice-Chairs, elected to three-year terms. Day-to-day operations are managed through an operating agent organization, which reports to the Executive Committee.

==Energy Database==

ETDE's '''Energy Database''' iswas a substantial collection that focusesfocused on [[energy research]] literature and [[technology]] literature. This database containscontained more than 4.5 million abstracted and indexed records, and iswas updated twice per month. Temporal coverage iswas from 1974 to present day2014. The principle access point for this database iswas [[ETDEWEB]] (see next section). However, access iswas also available through commercial online hosts, and some countries offeroffered their own products for access. Member country representatives supplysupplied the best options for their citizens to access this database. Furthermore, the United States feedsfed this database to [[Dialog (online database)|Dialog]] which providesprovided online access. Likewise, Germany feedsfed this database to [[STN International]].

Broad subject coverage includesincluded 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 iswas world-wideworldwide in some areas. In addition, thisThe database iswas 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 iswas produced and made available by ETDE. It hashad over 4,552,0005 million references for literature that encompassesencompassed broad topical coverage, and allowsallowed access to more than 500 000 full text fordocuments 431,000and reports, which amountsamounted to more than 1 million pages. ETDEWEB hashad unique access to these reports, which arewere often not available through other conventional sources. Over a million other references linklinked to sites containing cited documents. Open access iswas provided to member countries, countries with developing country status, or by Executive Committee decision.<ref name=etdewebpg>

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>

=== Subject coverage ===

ETDEWEB coverscovered an extensive base of topics, the main areas includeincluded information on energy research and development along with energy policy and planning. Other aresareas of coverage includeincluded basic sciences (e.g., physics, chemistry and biomedical); materials research; the environmental impacts of energy production and use (including climate change); energy conservation; nuclear energy (e.g., reactors, isotopes, and nuclear waste management); coal and fossil fuels; and renewable energy technologies (e.g., solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, hydro).<ref name=energyDB>
