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 comprised 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.
