Methane (CH4) accounts for approximately 20% of current anthropogenically-enhanced radiative forcing. Its atmospheric concentration has more than doubled over the past 200 years and between the 1970s and early 1990s atmospheric concentrations had been increasing at a steady rate of 10 to 15 ppbv per year. After slowing down to a halt in the late1990s and early 2000s there has been a surprise increase in atmospheric concentrations. The reasons behind this change are unknown. As well as climate and environmental change, Key drivers for methane research include energy and resource management, understanding tropospheric chemistry, and natural and anthropogenic hazards. This subject involves a wide range of stakeholders including the research community, energy industry, policy-makers and regulators, all of which are represented in the UK, but are not effectively integrated. The Methane Network (MethaneNet) will facilitate communication between these groups, broaden links, and establish a prioritised research agenda to include the UK & international community. This will be done through a series of high profile meetings including a 2-day Royal Society Discussion meeting and the initiation of a series of biennial International Methane Conferences. These broad general meetings will be supplemented with more targeted problem oriented workshops. The spine of MethaneNet will be an interactive website that harnesses the power of social networking to allow the community to gel. Two specialist journal volumes are planned and novel outputs include use of the website to disseminate videos of talks, short news items and blogs of researchers engaged in field research. MethaneNet will be managed by a core-management team that draws on a range of expertise in both Universities and NERC centre/surveys. The team is fully embedded in the UK and international methane community and covers all relevant areas through 5 work packages.

甲烷 (CH4) 约占当前人为增强辐射强迫的 20%。其大气浓度在过去 200 年中增加了一倍多，并且在 20 世纪 70 年代至 90 年代初期，大气浓度一直以每年 10 至 15 ppbv 的稳定速度增加。在 20 世纪 90 年代末和 2000 年代初放缓至停止状态后，大气浓度出现了惊人的增加。这一变化背后的原因尚不清楚。除了气候和环境变化之外，甲烷研究的关键驱动因素还包括能源和资源管理、了解对流层化学以及自然和人为危害。该主题涉及广泛的利益相关者，包括研究界、能源行业、政策制定者和监管机构，所有这些利益相关者在英国都有代表，但没有有效整合。甲烷网络（ManeNet）将促进这些团体之间的沟通，扩大联系，并制定优先研究议程，将英国和国际社会包括在内。这将通过一系列备受瞩目的会议来完成，包括为期两天的皇家学会讨论会议和一系列两年一度的国际甲烷会议的启动。这些广泛的大会将辅之以更有针对性的问题导向研讨会。 MacetNet 的支柱将是一个互动网站，利用社交网络的力量让社区凝聚起来。计划出版两本专业期刊，新颖的产出包括使用该网站传播从事实地研究的研究人员的演讲视频、简短新闻和博客。 MacetNet 将由核心管理团队管理，该团队利用大学和 NERC 中心/调查方面的一系列专业知识。该团队完全融入英国和国际甲烷界，并通过 5 个工作包涵盖所有相关领域。
