The Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDE) was formed in 1987. It was initiated as, and continues to be, an mulitlateral agreement, replacing numerous other bilateral agreements. The mulilateral agreement is for the international exchange of energy research, development, and information exhchange. The collection of information is generated by all or part of the approximately 40 International Energy Agency (IEA), "implementing agreements". 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. [1][2]
