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

It was initiated as a [[multilateral agreement]] under the [[International Energy Agency]] (IEA) agreement network, replacing numerous other [[bilateral agreement]]s. The multilateral agreement was for the international exchange of [[energy research]] and development and information. The exchange resulted in a [[database]] which was the world's largest collection of energy research, technology, and development (RTD) information ([[ETDEWEB]] - described below). The collection of information was 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 had the effect of creating a broad spectrum of information that was included in the ETDE database. The range of content included [[fossil fuel]]s, [[renewable energies]] (including [[Hydrogen]]), End-Use ([[Building]]s, [[Industrial sector|Industry]] and [[Transport]]), [[fusion power|fusion]], energy policy, conservation, and efficiency, and cross-sectional activities. This fulfilled the need for timely exchange of global information towards the goal of a sustainable energy future. ETDE operated under an IEA Implementing Agreement and was governed by an Executive Committee of delegates from ETDE member countries. 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 world-wideworldwide in some areas. The database was used by scientists, researchers, engineers, policymakers, information specialists, librarians, industry leaders, university faculty, and university students, among others.

=== Subject coverage ===

ETDEWEB covered an extensive base of topics, the main areas included information on energy research and development along with energy policy and planning. Other aresareas of coverage included 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>
