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]], 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.
