ESTEC - Environment, Sustainability and Technology

A new and powerful information system for engineering experts

ESTEC at a glance

ESTEC is a novel information system on Environment, Sustainability and its TEChnical aspects, jointly published by FIZ Technik and DECHEMA. ESTEC has been especially developed for engineering experts as a guide to the relevant literature in these fields.

 

ESTEC's main features

  • Fully searchable bibliographic database
  • Focusses on technical and application-oriented strategies to encounter the environmental challenges of today
  • Covers mechanical engineering, materials sciences, chemical engineering, environmental engineering, and biotechnology
  • Comprises more than 400,000 environmentally relevant records
  • Articles selected from more than 1,500 international journals, conference proceedings, dissertations and books
  • Bilingual database with informative abstracts in English and/or German
  • Enables straightforward and sophisticated search strategies
  • Provides tools for rapid and easy access to the full-text articles


Environment meets technology

ESTEC aims at builing interdisciplinary information bridges between environmental issues and technical and chemical engineering approaches. Main topics include:

Combined expertise

"Knowledge" is an essential prerequisite for scientific and economic success in the engineering field. Both publishers of the ESTEC database, DECHEMA and FIZ Technik, have longtime experience in the development and production of sophisticated information systems.

Since 1972, FIZ Technik focusses on knowledge management in the engineering field. The well-known TEMA® - Technology  and Management database comprises more than 4 million entries and is one of the most comprehensive information systems for engineers.

Already in 1952, the DECHEMA started with its first literature information system for chemical and process engineers. Now, the CEABA®-VtB (Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology Abstracts - Verfahrenstechnische Berichte) database encompasses more than 725,000 records from 1966 onwards.

ESTEC is a joint project comprising the environmentally relevanat data from both sources TEMA® and CEABA®-VtB, and thus combines the expertise of both partners.
