The Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDE) was formed in 1987. It was initiated as, and continues to be, a multilateral agreement, replacing numerous other bilateral agreements. The multilateral agreement is for the international exchange of energy research, development, and information exchange. 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]
ETDEWEB
Energy Technology Data Exchange employs an internet related database to disseminate the energy research and technology information which is collected and exchanged. The database is named ETDE World Energy Base or ETDEWEB.[3]
ETDEWEB is a large database of energy research and technology literature, established in 1987, and with data coverage going back to 1974. It contains more than four million abstracted and indexed records. Coverage encompasses contributions of the ETDE member countries, international partner countries, and the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Scientific and Technical Information databases.[4]
Subject coverage
ETDEWEB covers an extensive base of topics, the main areas include information on energy research and development along with energy policy and planning. Basic sciences are included in coverage of this database (e.g., physics, chemistry and biomedical) and materials research. Also indexed is the environmental impact of energy production and use, including climate change, and energy conservation. The nuclear field is also covered e.g., reactors, isotopes, and nuclear waste management. Also included is coal and fossil fuels; renewable energy technologies (e.g., solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, hydro). Furthermore, the list of subject areas continues, and covers a broad spectrum.[4][5]
